What information do I need to get to find my Jewish Heritage?

Question

I have greatgrand parents with Jewish roots. I would like to find out about my Jewish roots. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

well according to judiasm, you are only a jew if your mother was jewish and her mother was jewish and so on. I really dont know what information you are looking for in your question. You can always start by asking your relatives. then there is going to a rabbi or synagogue, or you can ask me a more specific question. or you can read the "torah" also known as the five books of moses. if you need any more help email me at [e-mail]

Answer 2

First talk to the oldest living family member on that side to see what they remember. If your great grandparents are dead ask your grandparents. If they are dead try great aunts and uncles. Then parents. Then aunts and uncles. Then cousins. If your great grandparents were observant one of these will help you.

If there is no one living who knows anything get your paperwork and go see the Rabbi in the local synagog. Reform rabbis are best because the more traditional they are the less open to outsiders (which sounds harsh, but it is why their culture survives).

While you are doing this also google.

Answer 3

I really don't know but if you find out let me know. I understand I have Jewish roots going back a long time.
