Ye, by that definition I am jewish, as will be my children and my (hypothetical) daughter's children etc. Which does make part of me happy, I have to say (especially the idea that my kids will have the option of converting more easily if they want) And when I encounter antisemitism, or jewish history, or look at Israel etc part of me definitely has a gut reaction of those are my people.
But having stayed at a jewish college (by coincidence, someone else chose it for me based solely on price) and talked to actual jewish people...I am not jewish, and I have only a very vague and distorted idea of what being jewish means. Which I can live with, but my attitude to the whole thing is rather complicated.
