Post 14: Jewish Americans

I thought about the idea of Jewish by Association, and it makes a lot of sense to me. A lot of the people I know who are Jewish aren't Jewish as much by choice, as much as just because their parents were. I feel this is accepted though in a lot of the JEish community because of the acceptance of different views and groups. Reform Judaism for example pretty much came around in the late 19th century when Russian Jews were intermarrying with Christians, hence why intermarriage is widely accepted in the Reform and Conservative Sects.
