sar,
how ya' doin'? i agree with the comments about chat in the other thread, it's a yahoo thing, i'm sure, i hate and loathe and despise yahoo... lousy interface, too many ads, etc....as to your religious question: if you're asking are you a jew or not, the jewish people would ask if your mother's mother was jewish. if she was originally, but converted to catholicism, that's one thing. if she was a catholic and her husband was a jew, that doesn't count... it is passed down through the mother's side.
any clearer?thought not...
yer frend,
W.
