We are a mixed marriage, so our kids were raised with a little less Judaism than I was raised with.

We are committed to raising our children as Jews. I knew that it had to start with me at a greater level, at a deeper level, if it was going to be a meaningful example to them.

I cried to my mother that I wanted to go to Hebrew school; I wanted Jewish friends. But when my mother took me, the kids there all knew each other, and somehow I was even more of an outcast.

I was raised in an orthodox Jewish home where it was expected that, as a woman, I'd marry an investment banker, raise kids in the suburbs and go to temple. I wasn't raised to set the world on fire.

I was little there were times I wanted my parents to be normal. I wanted them to have a religion. I wanted them to have a job, like the parents of every other kid I went to school with.

I was one of two Jewish kids in my school. We were probably one of two Jewish families in our town.

I'm Jewish. Went to a Jewish school.

The whole upbringing was interesting because we grew up Orthodox Jews all the way until we were teenagers.

I believed in raising my children as I had been raised.

My mother should have been Jewish. She could have taught a class on how to induce guilt.
