Am I Jewish at Congregation Shir Libeynu?
If I have one Jewish parent, am I Jewish here?
Yes. We recognize Jewish identity through either parent, regardless of gender, when a person is raised with a Jewish identity and participates in Jewish life.
What if my family was formed through IVF or surrogacy?
Jewish belonging does not depend on who carried a pregnancy. We look to intention, upbringing, and lived Jewish life.
Do I need to convert?
No. Conversion is optional and respected, never required for belonging.
What if I’m unsure?
Questions are welcome. We encourage conversation.
