The Half-Jewish Network weighs in on Breyer, (and it's good!)

I was delighted to receive several e-mails from the Half-Jewish Network, commending me on the recent episode of Kyle's B&B that continues the story of Breyer's exploration of his Jewish & Irish-Catholic heritage. I wasn't aware of the group before this, but after looking at their website, (www.half-jewish.net), it was quite educational to learn about the range of issues that children of Jewish interfaith marriage, (marriages where one of the parents is Jewish and one isn't), face. In particular, the "Who Is A Jew?" page at their website shows the variety of factors involved.

I've received a lot of very warm e-mails from readers over the past year or so who are children of Jewish interfaith marriages, who are really grateful to see this aspect of their lives explored in the comic strip. Well, it's an honor for me to do so, and I'm quite flattered that the Half-Jewish Network feels that I've captured this issue with accuracy. And I hope you'll visit their website if you get a chance!
