I just found out that my grandma is a born Jew. She then converted to Christianity. She raised my mother Christian and so I am too Christian now. I heard that Judaism is an ethnicity and a religion, so you can also be a Jewish Christian or a Jewish atheist. I couldn’t really find answers so I’ll just ask here. Out of interest as I’m really curious now lol. Thanks in advance and may God/G-D bless you!
Even though some streams will consider you Jewish already, you probably have a similar level of knowledge to many conversion students. So it may be helpful for you to start where they do - reach out to a rabbi and explain your situation, take an intro class, look up “reading lists for Jewish converts”…
Reform and Chabad are the streams that tend to do the most outreach to new and returning people, so you would probably have the easiest time getting started at one of them. Reform would ask you to convert but you’d want to do a lot of learning anyway: even if you don’t end up Reform, going through most/all of the conversion process might still be meaningful, help mark the occasion, help you get orientated, etc.
