Will they embrace him into their congregation?
If yes, under what conditions?
Who should the man contact?

The man has never practiced Judaism.
His father is Jewish, mother gentile.
He is interested in practicing Judaism.

Well, maybe interested in practicing, but not sure. It's a tough decision.

I accept you, but I'm the non-practicing daughter of a Jewish man and a gentile woman. If you are really interested, contact your local synagogue.

Its not as simple as it seems. Accepting him and agreeing that he is jewish is a different story. Any correct form of judiasm says that he must have a jewish mother, so basically he himself isnt jewish. He can come join the same as any other gentile, convert

Do you mean his family or the synagogue he is joining as he returns to active status (probably not the best choice of words but you do understand what I mean)? Hopefully, the family will accept the wife. The rest of the community is open to debate. Some might and others won't. It will depend a lot on how the wife behaves and interacts with the Jewish community.

They should.
You have the jewish blood in you.
Attend the congregation.
They will welcome you.
