    A lot of people who are ethnically Jewish and identify as Jews don’t practice or believe in Judaism.

      I come from Jewish parents. I’m an atheist, but I still consider myself Jewish.

      My daughter is half-Jewish and I have advised her to tell no one in school because she will get treated differently, especially since this is Indiana.

      One year in elementary school, one of her teachers assumed she was Jewish after meeting me (I look as stereotypically Jewish as Woody Allen) and singled her out for it multiple times. She thought she was singling her out for it in a good way, to teach the other kids something for example, but it just made my daughter feel embarrassed and othered.
