There will be women who are on the competition team that will be in helping with the class, as well. So you’ll be able to ask all sorts of questions if you’re able to make it in.
not disagreeing at all, but I recently found out that like all four of his grandparents were jewish and was shocked… his grandparents all converted but I was surprised to hear about his strong jewish lineage
as long as your dog is on a leash and you keep them close to yourself, protecting their safety and the safety of those around you, this is how dogs learn and are socialized. at the beginning they do lunge, bark, growl, etc, but in my experience they always do better with time.
I also grew up with a Jewish father and Catholic mother and went through a formal conversion ten years ago. I would start off by looking into community events. I became involved in the community after college and was fortunate to live in a city with a thriving Jewish community for young professionals. I don't know your age but maybe that's a place to start. As other people have mentioned, Reform spaces may be less intimidating or more relaxed to someone of your background and they probably offer classes to where you can learn more about Judaism. While it's true conservative temples won't officially consider you Jewish, I have found conservative communities are fairly positive and welcoming of patrilineals who are interested in learning more. It's worth exploring different communities to see which one clicks with you but starting off with a laid-back Reform space and then branching out could be a good approach. I hope you find a place where you feel accepted and enriched! You're certainly not alone as someone with a Jewish father who feels a strong pull towards Jewish roots.
if you don’t mind me asking, are you orthodox, or conservative, or reform? also since you have jewish genetics and did a formal conversion are you totally accepted as a jew?
Based on the rabbi who took me to the mikveh, conservative. With a formal conversion, I am fully accepted as a Jew in the circles I move in. Orthodox Jews wouldn't consider me fully Jewish since they only accept conversions done by their rabbis but I am unbothered by that. Orthodox Judaism is way too structured and restrictive of a lifestyle for me and I found that I socially clicked better with people in non-Orthodox communities anyways. That said, prior to my conversion I wasn't necessarily unwelcomed. Being a half-Jew was really only an issue while dating people raised extremely observant who didn't want to pursue anything with someone they didn't consider Jewish. A great thing about the Jewish community is the variety of ways to be involved depending on your comfort level. If you plan to attend college, definitely check out Hillel organizations on campus. You are also eligible for Birthright with a Jewish father. I don't know what the trips look like now with what's happening over there, but it's definitely an incredible experience to learn more about your Jewish heritage.

I mean, have you ever read Marx? Hatred of Jews is literally baked into communist ideology at a fundamental level.
