Forced to become Jewish?


It always makes me suspicious when someone converts religions. Spielberg made her convert to Judaism before marriage so that if they had children the kids would be Jewish (since you can only be Jewish if your mother is as well). I have known a couple of women who have finally relented to conversion because the Jewish parents refused to condone or pay for a wedding in which their offspring marries a non-Jew. Doesn't that seem really backward and selfish?

"Forced" her to become Jewish? Last time I looked the United States was a country wherein people had a choice of religions and no one could "force" another person to convert.

FORCED---Get a grip. The lady made a "CHOICE" that has filled her life with joy. Looks like to me it was a really good choice for her.

"Forced," as in..."You don't convert and there's NO wedding....as in...."NO $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$."
