My DNA test came back 49% Ashkenazi. AMA.

I've gone back and forth on whether or not I should explore my Jewish side more. Long story short, my maternal grandmother did all she could to cut things off with my Jewish father. She wanted me raised Catholic so I lost connection with my Jewish relatives.

I'm not at an age where I want self determination but since I'm a Patrilileal Jew I would not be accepted by the community so it seems like it wouldn't be worth it. I would just be hurt more.

Anyways AMA.
