I am not Jewish, but my entire adult life I have been immersed in Jewish culture. Working in a Jewish-family owned business, my child being in a school that happened to be founded by a Jew, and having a high ratio of Jewish students, my child ended up falling in love with a Jewish boy. When one of my dearest friends died 3 years ago, the rituals surrounding her funeral and burial were the richest, most meaningful I have ever encountered. I was included in the entire process, and the Synagogue and Rabbi she and her family chose when they first moved here 15 yrs ago - she specifically chose him because he was very inclusive of her non-Jewish friends. The children's Bar Mitzvahs, everything. Your perspective is no more or less valuable than mine - and your Jewishness and my non-Jewishness has nothing to do with the value of our perspectives.
