LOL. Maybe if I traced my mum’s side back far enough…
I am smiling.

That is a very touching story. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your story, Yes, being Jewish is passed from the mother. If only your grandfather was Jewish, you would not be considered Jewish. The liberal end of Judaism has modified the age old definition of who is a Jews to include those who have Jewish fathers; however one has to be raised Jewish to the exclusion of all other religions. So I’m not sure what your situation is. If your mother is Jewish, you are a Jew. If she wasn’t, then you need to convert according to all branches of Judaism.
But either way, mazel tov on getting back to your Jewish roots. As far as mezuzot go, you should have one on every interior door way (excluding restrooms) too. The kosher klefs are expensive, so you can add on as you can. Is there a Chabad in your area?

What a beautiful thing, Rabbi. I belonged to a messianic congregation up until last April.
I have one on my door post to this day.
I don’t know if you have ever attended a mass before but I think you would be surprised as I, to find so much of how Jewish services are held are so embedded into the mass, even the prayers.
We stand for the reading of the Word and everything is kept so Kadosh.
I’m so glad you put that mezuzah up! What a beautiful way to remember Adonai and your family! Much Shalom to you!

Hi! I know, I need a couple more of them but I’m not very wealthy and so the mezuzot for the other doorposts will have to wait a bit.
My situation is that my mothers’ mother was Jewish, and since the Rabbi back then said that he was only interested in my mothers’ side of the family, I haven’t yet done more reasearch, but this isn’t forgetten and the next thing on my list. We’ve always believed that my mothers’ father was a Catholic, however, at Kuddush when I thought I would throw in something clever lol that only I knew because our mother recalled her father saying that, the answer was: “This is from the Talmud tractate so and so…” This happened often and so now I have to scratch my head and ask myself how comes that he knew the Talmud so well lol.
Yes, there’s a Chabad about an hours drive away from my place.

Which are the prayers that are said in temple as well as in church? I think I need a reminder as it has been so long. Oh, I remember one, there’s one sentence the Priest says during the Eucharist that is from the Amida

Quoting Tonga, but anyone can answer.
Why excluding restrooms but on every other doorway?
Also, what is a kosher klef? And what is a Chabad?
I know I could go Google or call my Jewish friend and ask, but I like getting answers from people involved in the ongoing discussion. I find I get better definitions and learn so much more about people that way

Yes, it was the Eucharist prayers that the priest says that I was thinking of.
They go something like this: “Blessed are You, O’Lord our G-d, King of the universe who brings forth bread from the earth.”
No matter where your faith journey takes you, I pray that it brings you ever closer to Adonai!

I was thinking about the other one that goes holy, holy, holy is Ad0nai Tsevaot, G-ds’ presence fills the whole earth. That’s from Isaiah and spoken during the sanctus

These are very good questions.Quoting Tonga, but anyone can answer.

I doubt you get better definitions and learn more reading my answer but for now the simple one will hopefully be okay for everyone until someone else can give better answers
The kosher klev is the parchment (which comes from animal skin) I mentioned before on which the words are written. The Sofer (the one who writes those) can’t make the slightest mistake writing it and must be very careful.
Restrooms aren’t rooms that you live in. You spend necessary time in there but you don’t really live there. This is why they’re excluded (someone will give a better answer
)

So because the kosher klev is made from animal skin and the Sofer who writes on it must make no mistakes (is a very skilled craftsman and probably relatively rare) it is a little expensive and some people will have to save money over time to be able to buy one for every doorway?These are very good questions.

I’d be tempted to hang one on the restroom door to help keep the Lord on our minds. American style home bathrooms are becoming more and more about a spa feel. Fireplaces, televisions, tubs with jets meant for a decent amount of time soaking away stress. We really spend a lot of time in that room. Even those of us with more modest bathrooms.
Besides, no one who has ever raised a teenage girl can say a bathroom is where we do necessary things or where we don’t spend a lot of time. Between regular grooming, experimentation with appearance and style, and whatever else girly girls do in there I practically need explosives to blast my teen girls into another room, lol!
