Getting in touch with my Jewish roots

I’m a half Jewish, black teenager who is Jewish on my mother’s side. She was adopted and raised Jewish. My Jewish family was incredibly prolific in their communities and in the areas that they lived in. I’ve recently become strongly moved to get in touch with my Jewish roots around the beginning of last year after speaking at a Yom HaShoah related event and taking a course connected to it and meting Holocaust survivors. I’ve also wanted to learn more about my family history and culture (my great grandfather escaped an Eastern European pogrom with his whole family before coming to America in the late 1800’s). Since I live in a predominantly Jewish community and have many Jewish friends, it was very easy to get into the overall feel of being Jewish, but I’ve began coming full circle in my journey. Now, I am Christian in that I believe in the New Testament, but I do want to keep the Jewish traditions in my family. Most of the people that I grew up with and know are Jewish and I am definitely Jewish and have no other identity in terms of culture. I just did Sukkot for the first time and shook the lulav and the etrog. I’m also involved in many different Jewish clubs. I feel amazing.

I hope this is the right place to post this and it isn’t offensive in any way
