[QUOTE="LauraS, post: 2729825, member: 220497"] For starters, I have never been a religious person. But the more I learn about Jewish culture, and their beliefs, the more I feel like Judaism may be the right religion for me. I do not eat pork or beef anyway, so those wouldn't be a problem. I prefer the Kosher way of slaughter, so I could concievably eat Kosher chicken, fish and turkey. There are different forms of Kosher Law, so I'm not even sure *which* Kosher I would be following. The big moral dilemma for me is with shellfish and seafood. With my Italian heritage, I just don't know if I could eliminate the occasional mussel or scungili. I would be interested in serious answers.I'm not looking to convert to a more strict order (like Orthodox or Hasidic), but would ultimately need to know if there are any sects of practicing Jews who do not keep Kosher (Passover maybe being the exception)? Also, would I make a Bat Mitzvah? I'm 33, so long past the age of becoming a woman. [/QUOTE]
