I posted the first post.

"Without ever joining a temple, learning to count to ten in Hebrew, or comprehending the meaning of Purim, being Jewish had informed everything about me—from my sense of humor and taste in food to the process by which I finally found a donor. Jewish law aside, there was no way a child of ours could be anything but Jewish" Harlyn states.

So w/o acting Jewish, she claiims by her 'Ashkenazi eggs' alone she is Jewish; so this is racism predicated upon blood alone.

Indeed, mayhap being that "while not all of the donors were Jewish, all of the Jewish donors wrote well," well of course, do not 'they' always get the best schooling available. Or are we now to suppose innately some races are more intelligent than others? Are the Japanese, Jews, and Dutch just inherently more intelligent than Africans, Native 'Americans,' and the Chinese; or is intelligence not largely crafted by environment and upbringing, and formal education?

Are we to now say that just because an unborn child has Ashkenazi blood, their IQs are automatically 20% higher than Sephardic children, or African children, or anybody else?

Is she going to pass it through the fire if the little Buddha does not have a 'Jewish' sense of humor? What is a 'Jewish' sense of humor anyway? Somebody that says they care about the orphaned, widows, and strangers, yet actually dedicate their intelligence to 'going after the gold?' Or is it a joke only a 'Jewish' bankers' daughter could understand . . .

Is Harlyn more Jewish even while not practicing Judaism, than Michael Richards or Madonna who say they are Jewish b/c they are versed in Jewish lore?

Anyway . . .

I am happy that these two girls chose to have a child, and I wish them, and their family all of the best. G-d bless.

Peace
