When dealing with such grave issues many have found it helpful to put your thoughts and questions down in a letter and send it to the gravesite of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. You might try this. Instructions are here: http://www.ohelchabad.org/templates/articlecco.htm/aid/78446/jewish/Sending-a-letter.html

What  ??? . You belive in him being the Moshiah? What will writing a letter to a Rabbi who passed away accomplish? please explain.

Just because he's passed away doesn't mean that he's stopped reading all of this mail!

Ehud:
I'm sure you need lots of help and you probably have endless questions to ask that need to be answered.  First of all, I would like to commend you in your recognition of your belonging among the Jewish people.  Too many people have Jewish mothers but wander off, become atheists, Christians (even some on this forum), or G-d knows what else.  You are obviously a man with tremendous character, to the point of even risking your marriage for the truth of who you really are.  That is very respectable, the fact that you want to recognize yourself as Jewish against adversity (losing your wife, living in an area without any Jews, changing your identity) is frankly one of the most amazing stories of a Jewish person I have heard in my entire life.  Something tells me that you have a reason to remain Jewish, just in the way you found your mother, and the signs of you not tolerating Catholicism when you rejected Jesus' teachings, it was meant to be.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, there are many people here who would love to help you in your quest to recover your true identity.

I don't understand this either.  It's a Lubovitcher thing and if it works for them, then great. (Cain, heim maminim she'who moshiach).

All of this came to a head last month when my devoutly christian wife left me over my refusal to continue attending christian church with her and my two teenage daughters.  We are heading for divorce and I have no idea where to find help to guide my actions from hereon as a Jew in good standing under the LAW.

Brother, I have a friend, also a JTF member of the forum whose family is in the conversion process due to similar circumstances as you are/have been going through.

I strongly suggest taking a trip to your nearest Othodox Synagogue.  Ask Moses is good but it is not personable.  It is much better as a resource site towards Jewish studies and not specifically what you are going through.  I feel, for you to make an informed decision you might truly consider researching where there is an Othodox Synagogue near you and call the Rabbi and set up a few hour visit.  You will have many questions, many uncertainties and too many clearifications within your own mind that need attention and settling.

Mazzel tov to you....  I think once your knowledge of Jewish history and Judaism grows you will be able to entertain both logic and theological discussions with your family.  They will have questions and you will have answers that are very logical....
