I'm Jewish, why do gentiles often criticize my religion and how I raise my kids?

I’m Orthodox Jewish and I have eight children. We live in a devout Jewish area of Brooklyn, and I only send my kids to private Jewish schools. When I’ve asked questions on here before or when I’ve talked to some gentiles in person they often criticize my complete love for my Jewish faith and how my husband and I raise our kids Orthodox. I can’t believe some people think that raising our kids with our religion that we’ve kept alive all these generations and teaching them to be proud of their Jewish heritage and want to carry it on and perpetuate it is some kind of abuse. Our religion and heritage is beautiful and teaches our children morals and values and gives them a big sense of identity and meaning in their lives. I think it would be a much greater error to raise your children to believe in nothing and have no sense of who they are or where they come from. Why do people feel the need to criticize? Why can’t they just mind their own business if they don’t like how someone else lives and raise their own kids however they want?

Update:

Either that or they think we should convert to Christianity or Islam, like that will ever happen, lol. Assimilation and intermarriage is the greatest threat there is to the American Jewish community.

  • different Jews have already given the wonderful definition, I only % to indicate out to Shadow who insists on arguing against Jewish regulation for Jewish identity that in the time of fact, Orthodox Jews say a each and on a daily basis prayer written by technique of a convert, Rabbi Onkelos. Judaism has constantly prevalent converts as totally Jewish. The fake concept of Jews as a race began interior the 18’s in a wave of antisemitism that culminated interior the Holocaust. besides, the Jewish u . s . a . has survived by way of all tries by technique of each and every u . s . a . that got down to spoil it, collectively as lots of them that had some distance accomplishing empires are actually long previous. 4 thousand years and we are nonetheless right here. Am Yisrael Chai 🙂 there are a number of diverse Jewish ethnicities, yet ethnicity isn’t what defines one as a Jew. Jewish regulation is what defines Jewish identity. I somewhat have an exceedingly long answer i’ve got published many situations right here and that i will objective to get only between the questions with the intention to no longer make this positioned up huge, too.

  • A true christian should never criticize the Jewish faith. After all most of us are the gentiles and are the ones who are in need of being adopted into the family of Abraham. The only thing we wish is that the Jewish faith would accept Jesus Christ who is the long awaited savior who came first as the first offering, as a lamb, who’s blood was to cleanse all sin and who shall return in Glory and Splendor as King of the Jews, but not only the Jews but the whole earth, upon his return. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ L.D.S. and we do believe in the everlasting covenants that God made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

  • You believe Jesus was just a mortal man and not the son of God. So Christans and others want you to believe what they do .I agree with you that it is better to raise your children in a religion with the values that go with it even if we disagree on some things.

  • They are Fools. They don’t know what they are talking about. As most of the world is like this. Ignore them. I do pray you have accepted Jesus as your promised messiah. Please go to Sid Roth’s website. He is a Messianic Jew. I think I spelled that right. Anyway google Sid Roth and check out his website and read his story. It is incredible. God bless you and your family. You are God’s chosen people and I love you all very much. I just want you to know that.

  • Do you want some cheese with that whine because no one brings up your religion around here that much because you are jewish does not mean you can escape criticism now stop acting like a child your religion is just as worthless as the rest of them.

  • I am a progressive Christian. I have nothing but true respect for your faith and religious practices.

    Unfortunately, the ignorant are often times louder and more obnoxious than those who are compassionate. Don’t let them get you down.

    All the best to you and your family.

    Peace/Shalom

  • I am a very devout Catholic convert. Yes, you are right and they are wrong. But I wouldn’t even dignify their interfering and malevolent stupidity. In real life most people probably avoid them.

  • just ignore them. everyone gets criticized not just you.
