RE: conversion to judaism
That's very sad, but not surprising. I have seen many Jewish families torn apart because they have put their religious beliefs before their child's (or in some cases, grandchild's) happiness.
For those that know the story of Fiddler on the Roof, this is still a reality for many orthodox Jews. If a child marries 'out' (i.e. someone who is not Jewish), they consider that child dead and go through the mourning process.

Dear Lesley
Yes very sad indeed, and it really begs the question whether man's judgements and beliefs are getting in the way of Gods love for in God there is NO separation or judgement.
'I make no condemnation, I take no sides, I AM neutral.'
Religion certainly has a lot to answer for and it is not only Judaism other orthodox from other religions seem to be the same - the co-creators of duality which stops people coming into oneness and wholeness.
I love Fiddler on the Roof I saw it at Marble Arch on the big screen when it first came out and a cousin was key grip camerman on the film. So our family have great affection for it.
It seems that when religion is swept away people will be a lot happier and more free and liberated, just as God intended all in equality.
