I was always taught that if your mother is Jewish, then you're automatically Jewish, but if your father is Jewish and your mother is not then you are not. My grandma swears by this, which made dating hell.

Wow, your aunt sounds like she was a pretty cool lady. You've got quite an interesting family history!

Yeah I was taught that too! I've been meaning to research my family history more, see what ever became of my family back in Hungary, visit Auschwitz, and learn some Hebrew. Those are my personal goals for me to achieve by the time I'm 30. I think its very important for one to know one's heritage and family history, because it gives one a better perspective on life.

The "Jewish Guy" that was at Amy's door looks INCREDIBLY like her ex-boyfriend ALEX CLAIRE (the one she left for Blake).
I could be wrong...
omg, this is uncanny. could this be more than a coincidence? hmm....
personally, i think he's cuter than Blake...

I was thinking it was him as well, but no one said anything and I have a miserable visual memory so supposed I was wrong.
Wow, really cool that you know all that. I know nothing about my family, wish I did but I wouldn't know where to start. My last name is uncommon but there are some people with this name in the US and France (know that thanks to Facebook).On my mom's side, too. Now I'm only about an eight Jewish, but its still something!
As a matter of fact, I only discovered my Jewish side (my mom almost forgot we were part Jewish lol as she had been raised Catholic) when I was about 13. We discovered in our basement family collections a really old Torah (in book form, with gold-edged pages) that belonged to my great-great aunt, Anna M. Rosenberg.
Anna Rosenberg was born in Budapest and later moved to the States when her father's business failed (party due to anti-semitism and the decrepit economy from WWI). She later became the first woman and first Jewish person to receive the Medal of Freedom and serve as the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense. She once worked for the US Presidents from the 40s to the late 60s. She married Paul Hoffman (second husband), who was a key member who helped found the Marshall Plan.
Just a bit of my family history!
And I go back to... I go back to us.

Me too. I remember thinking that when she left him for Blake. I was like, "Wow, she left this guy for that? Dude must have a great personality." 8-/

Online family tree sites are a great way to start (http://www.ancestry.com/). Also, check out your local library. They should know something about where to find out about your family.

You know what I think? I think if that little twat and Blake do "it," her family will, as a "coincidence," reveal that she's not 16, but 15, and try to get some money or fame out of it. Something like that.
