Jack, if it's any consolation, I thought you were a Jew the day I met you in person in Santa Monica!

Personally, I'm Jewish, had a Bar Mitzvah, and participated in all the holidays growing up BUT always felt pressured to be there. I've never really felt a "draw" to Judaism. The moment dinner or whatever event was over - I just wanted to go and hang out with my friends.

My wife comes from a Catholic family but neither she nor I "practice" religion. There's more of a spiritual essence to our family. Not in a wacky "new age" way though! LOL

Our children have been exposed to both Jewish and Catholic holidays, however, we havent overtly stressed the relegious overtones as much as we've celebrated the holidays and explained them in a pseudo historical manner so they have an idea of WHY the days(s) are signifigant.
