Patrilineal Jews are part of the tribe, featuring Lynn Romano. How many times have you heard that patrilineal Jews are not "real Jews" or that their parentage is the "wrong half"? Not only is it derogatory to erase half-Jews, but it also contradicts actual Judean history, the first 2,000+ years. It was wonderful to be joined by Lynn Romano, a proud patrilineal Jew who has experienced both acceptance from family members and cold distance or pushback from other Jews who do not understand.
