have you ever met a mexican jew before? well there’s a first time for everything because here i am! technically i am not jewish because i was baptized, but my mother is jewish and my father is catholic.  traditionally, children are usually the religion of the mother if both parents are not the same religion, but i guess my parents got that part confused.  i was kind of raised both religions, with more emphasis on catholicism.  there is a catholic school, church and convent down the street from my house and my family joined that church when i was born.  when it was time for me to attend first grade my parents enrolled my in sacred heart school down the street.  there my younger sister attended also and we were both baptized, made communion and were confirmed.  although we were both raised within the catholic church, we were well educated on the jewish religion and regularly attend family holiday get togethers with my mom’s family. i feel that my sister and i are more knowledgeable and open minded than many other children we know because of our mixture of religions.  i wonder if there are any other mexican jews in this world?
