1. My mom is from a long line of what we call "ethnic Jews," or (in my words) Jews for the food, so I had latkes on Chanukkah, but it's not like we went to Shul or anything. We celebrated Christmas and Easter (as Nat put it) just with the presents and chocolate aspects. :P Neither of my parents is religious.
2. I'm in the slow process of becoming a practicing Jew, which is sort of hard at a non-religious boarding school. Yesterday, it was pork for dinner. I ate salad. But I totally love it. I'm also a pretty scientific/factual person. I don't see that there's much contradiction in my faith and my physics and bio classes, to be honest. Not really a big deal for me.
