I'm starting to date this jewish guy. What should i know? He wears a bracelet with his hebrew name on it, do all jews wear those? I know he doesn't celebrate pagan holidays but does celebrate jewish holidays...what kind of jew is he?? Is there anything anyone can tell me that I might need to know?

The bracelet is nothing specific. He probably just bought it somewhere. Ok, by the sound of things I would say he is not a very religious Jew because if he married you his children would not be Jewish but that obviously doesn't affect him. He is a traditional Jew, he celebrates the Jewish holidays (probably not all of them though) and he keeps to certain things but doesn't know all that much about being a religious Jew. There is nothing else you need to know, I don't think, but just remember, a Jew is not meant to marry out of the faith, so you never know where your relationship is heading. Good luck!

Not all jews wear identity braclets, it is probably a personal thing. Pagan holidays have nothing to do with Judaism. You would have to describe what he does and wears much more thoroughly to say what kind of jew he is, not that it should matter, as long as he isn't forcing it on you.

From the fact that he is willing to date you, it is quite obvious that he isn't all that observant. So that tells me that he is fairly liberal.
No, not all Jews wear ID tags - such things are too reminiscent of the ID tatoos that the Nazis put on their victims.
You need to talk to him and find out where your relatinship is going. Would he truely consider marrying a Gentile woman or would he expect you to convert first? Unless you convert, his children with you would not be Jewish.

Dating is about getting to know someone. Ask him these questions. People are all different and only he can tell you his own personal beliefs.

Just act normal-he shouldnt expect you to act Jewish just as you shouldn't expect him to act Christian.

Sounds like a good old
nice Jewish boy to me...
If it doesn't work out,
please pass him on to me.
I'll take good care of him!
