Someone is hinting about my clueless relatives but it is hard to explain that without offending them in the process. Why would my aunt and uncle send their son to a Jewish school? Actually, I have no idea. None of us are Jewish. We are Christian so we don't need that. We already have the Old Testament to some extent and we also have the New Testament, which overcomes an excessive legalism of the Palestinian times, and extends the promises. So we are just fine without that extra stuff, although we recognize that sometimes it is necessary to communicate with the variety of persons in our country who are of other religious systems when we are at work, which is not always so easy as we might have thought.
To confuse matters further, some distant cousin of ours converted to Judaism and married a certain Mr. Israel, a person completely unknown to us. We were not paying attention to Great-Uncle Sam's family so we have no idea what they are doing. Sometimes people get distracted and wander off in other directions and forget who they are. We cannot be expected to keep tabs on every single person in the extended family. Only God can do that.
