Even with such a liberal and welcoming policy, Reform and Reconstructionist rabbis would ask:
Were the Schlossberg children raised exclusively as Jews, Jewish education, bar and bat mitzvah?
The deeper question is, of course: do the Schlossberg children consider themselves to be Jewish?
If Jack Schlossberg wanted to join the Jewish people, who wouldn’t welcome him? There are many children of interfaith marriages who decide that they want to be Jews, and who act on that decision.
We have even welcomed descendants of distinguished American political families into the Jewish people. Joshua Boettiger, the great-grandson of Franklin D. Roosevelt, serves as rabbi of Temple Emek Shalom in Ashland, Oregon.
I am interested in the “Jack Schlossberg is Jewish” thing — not because of what it says about him, but because of what it says about us.
It is what David E. Kaufman refers to as “Jewhooing,”
…the habit of citing Jewish celebrities—“Didja know, Natalie Portman is Jewish!”—is characteristic of many Jews… It demonstrates that Jews are a part of America, but nonetheless remain distinctive, even exceptional, and thus stand apart from America.
Secure Jews would not “need” for Jack Schlossberg to be Jewish.
They would not need to collect Jewish celebrities, real or imagined, as if the mere existence of such celebrities validated Jewishness itself.
They would not need to incessantly point to the number of Jewish Nobel Prize winners, as if God charged us at Sinai to become a kingdom of Ph.D’s.
Jackie was 100% in on it, look closely, she shot JFK in teh neck with a small , derringer type weapon which she put behind the cushion as she scrambled over the back seat onto the boot of the car. Jackie was evil, 100%
That JFK quote is tantalising but entirely fake.

Our grandparents did this.
Must we continue to do so?
