i am drawn to learn more about jewish customs and traditions i belive perhaps i have jewish blood line in me and for what ever reason i was not brought up in that culture .i have this hunger to know more and more i read as much as possible and the more i learn it is very intersting to me . i will continue . i also light candles to my loved one that have departed before me. my grand father was from Ohio or Mich, area , i did not get to meet him , he was in the usa Army and died when i was very young .at this time i am trying to find more family (s) that carry that same name. of course the last names may not be a true name , the blood line could be have changed the name for protecion. i was born in San Antonio, Tx in aug. 10, 1941. my family has always treated me different , i am not like them. my family thinks only of today and i thank of today but also of tomorrow and future. i just do not know , there are somany questions in my mind. i will continue study as often as i can.
