I hear so much talk in the mainstream Christian and Muslim statements and some Jewish discussions about Jews not accepting that we were often Christianised. This is blown out of proportion because there was a lot of history to that development. What did one do to survive, and how vain it seems when faced with war? But you'll still be a Jew at heart, and you are connected by family ties to non-Christianised Jews forever. No matter what you believe, you cannot ignore the love one has for one's own people and heritage. This does not mean one has to agree on everything; love and loyalty should be there. This goes for the maternal line and paternal lines, especially in Germany, where my Jewish family had been residing for almost two thousand years before either getting killed or scattered around the globe. Christians have often reached out to us and helped, yet they have also, most of the time, misunderstood us, treated us as outsiders and belittled our understanding of God. I can understand why many Jews now do not want to reach out to me, thinking I have forgotten the past and that I would enjoy my "goy" life.On the contrary, I do not enjoy the situation I am in. But I have to live with what Hashem gave me gracefully. I believe if Jesus Christ knew my problem, he would be compassionate about my wish to reconnect with my family and my diaspora and believe in the idea of a Jewish homeland. I will remember his teachings, too.
