I [M] am a reform Jew (observing high holidays, Shabbat, bar/bat mitzvah) and my partner, she is gentile. I would want my child to be raised Jewish like I was. I understand that the child is not Jewish because the mother is not. The rest of my immediate and greater family are Jewish with Jewish partners and Jewish children. I would want my child to fit in with those children too, and as they get older ‘opt out’ of being Jewish if they so wish but atleast know they were raised Jewish.
My partner probably won’t become Jewish.
Instead, is it possible for the baby/infant to have a mikvah to be seen as Jewish and then raised as a Jew?
