I’ve converted Conservative (via the Rabbinical Assembly) and am fully Jewish in their view (and mine). Yet I’m aware that my Jewishness won’t be recognized by the Rabbanut and hence by any Orthodox shul.
Given that I know this, am I obliged to reveal my status when I daven at an MO shul? What are the ethics of this? I know that they probably wouldn’t count in in the minyan and give me an aliyah if I told them. But I also don’t feel like qualifying my Jewishness.
I know that I don’t have to show “my papers” and nobody will ask up front but if I keep coming back the information will eventually come out since I won’t lie if anyone asks. And then I guess I could make some people really unhappy if I was ever given an aliyah or was the 10th to the minyan.
Will appreciate any advice / experiences you’ve had. Thanks.
