My friend is Jewish.
Her DH is Catholic.

They will not baptize the baby, so do they still have godparents?

Arghgh!!!! THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME IN A CLASS AT BROOKLYN COLLEGE!!!! I learned the SAME EXACT THING!!!!

I swear this is probably why jewish mothers are known for their devotion to their sons! It'll never change, it always comes off as it being the boy that matters to the religion and not the girl.

Re: Question-Religion

I am very confused about something
does she know its a boy?? b/c you said she is raising baby VERY JEWISH? Most very jewish people have a bris so how can she raise very jewish and not make a Bris?

Re: Question-Religion

Tammy I am not sure if she is having a bri or not.

It is a girl.

Re: Question-Religion

Also she will raise her jewish but will do catholic type things too thats why i am confused

Re: Question-Religion

oh, I am not sure but I think a girl does not have a bris, only a boy- its when the circumcision is in your home by rabbi instead of the hospital
so why would a girl have that

Re: Question-Religion

Talk about confusing....my best friend's father married a catholic woman and they had a daughter together. Soooo....my friend's sister was confirmed in the Catholic church so she could be her nephew's god mother, THEN a few months later, she had her bat-mitfah. I don't get it, but whatever floats their boat.
