@ezraglenn, you are either Jewish or not Jewish. There is no “Jewish enough” category.
That being said, if your girlfriend (ex) had a Jewish father, how did the parents run their home? Did this girl go to temple or to church, if at all.? What tradition was she raised in?
Judaism traditionally does not seek converts but if she was raised in the tradition, conversion might not be a big deal for her to swallow. Just a thought.
@pixiequeen – The unbroken chain, Cohens and Levis, passes from father to son to son.
My daughter’s children can not be Levis unless her husband is a Levi, but my sons’ sons would be Levis . But you can not pass this tradition to an adopted son, only a biological children.
