I guess I could be as my greatgrandmother was, My middle son, Ezra is studying his Torah portion for a spring Bah Mitzva
Creighton,
If your greatgrandmother was, you might be. I'll have to check with a particularly obnoxious coworker and coreligionist to find out just how far the doctrine of matrilinear descent extends. And what's the story about Ezra and his BM (it's either a "bar" meaning "son" for a male, or a "bat" [pronounced bot] meaning daughter for a woperdaughter)?
Although maybe in Boston male children have Bah Mitzvahs befoah they pahk their cah in Hahvid Yad and chahge it.
