convert, they weren't inter-
ested in having me as a
member," Mrs. Bobrowski
said.
Mrs. Bobrowski found
Shir Tikvah to be an open
congregation, including
other mixed marriages. Mr.
Bobrowski does not attend
services with his wife, but
he partakes in synagogue
parties and traditions. They
celebrate holidays from both
religions.
Although the Bobrowskis
do not have any children,
they will raise any offspring
with one religion. They have
not decided whether that
will be Judaism or
Catholicism.
"It's easy to abstract and
say you will do something
one way or another. But
until we have children, we
won't know for sure how
they will be raised," Mr.
Bobrowski said. "It's just an
academic question until it
happens."
Sophie (Pegg) and Howard
Ellis aren't yet planning for
children. In which religion
to raise kids is not an issue
for the couple.
"I'd like to educate my
children on the history, sto-
ries and traditions of
Judaism, but I don't want to
impose religion on them,"
Mrs. Ellis said.
Raised in Houghton, Mrs.
Ellis had little exposure to
Judaism — attending the
occasional seder or holiday
service. Her mother is
Jewish, her father is an
atheist.
Mr. Ellis grew up in a
strongly Methodist home in
Horseheads, N.Y. His job
does not permit regular
church attendance, but he
tries to make Christmas and
Easter services.
"I work hard and my reli-
gion is in myself," Mr. Ellis
said. "I rarely get a chance
to go to church. But if I pray
to God, that is my religion.
Our love and our shared val-
ues are enough."
When the couple decided
to marry they considered
going before a magistrate.
They opted for a church
wedding instead. The Ellis
family had stronger feelings
about the type of wedding
than the Peggs.
Marriage counseling with
the minister made Mrs. Ellis
a bit uncomfortable. The
idea of a church did not.
"The minister talked
about making God a part of
our marriage. The notion is
fine, but he spoke with a
very Christian slant. And he
knew I was Jewish," Mrs.
Ellis said.
Yet Mrs. Ellis said she
never found the Jewish corn-
munity very accepting of her
duality either. Mrs. Ellis
dated a Jew for a year. She
said she enjoyed learning
more about Judaism from
him and his family, but
often felt she was not
Jewish enough for them.
The couple's cultural
problems are minimal. Mr.
Ellis doesn't know Yiddish
phrases and cannot say
challah correctly. Mrs. Ellis
sometimes feels Howard's
parents look to her as a rep-
resentative of the faith.
"Both of us recognize the
validity of each other's faith.
I want our children to recog-
nize both too," Mrs. Ellis
said. "And I want them to be
aware of their options." ❑
