kahanewarrior:
the french conservative rabbis do not practice circumsicion on french jewish children
only in orthodoxe jewish synagogues do they do that
im conservative so i was not circumsised at birth.
i hate when people say that i should go throgh an operation
i eat kosher i pray on friday and yet i am treated like a fake jew by most orthodoxe jews when i really
do belive in the principles of judaism

That is because "Conservative" Judaism and Deformed "Judaism" have the same starting point, Abraham Geiger and those that later formed the Communist Bund...

KalmanBenMenachem:
Hi,

I am not a rabbi, but Chaim said on this week's Q&A what I have always understood to be the definition of "Who is a Jew?" under halacha (Jewish law). 

1.  Born of a Jewish mother
2.  Converted according to halacha (i.e., Orthodox conversion)

You would appear to be Jewish under # 1 above.

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
even option #1 is tricky (at least for the Syrian Sefardim as I have heard) someone who only has a Jewish mother I believe isnt necessarily encouraged to be Jewish and isnt accpeted in some schools (in order to show that the act his mother did was dispicable).

mord:
I know an orthodox urologist who does circumcissions A [Bris] thats probably the best less pain he can give medication a mohel can'nt
