    I have spoke to several Orthodox organizations and the answers I receive vary, Chabad in some cases is willing to accept it, many Sephardic Orthodox congregations will accept it, many individual modern orthodox accept it while some groups such as lubavitch and the haradeim would not accept it.

    The answers i’ve received have varied over the course of time, anything from I was converted at birth to I was born halachic Jewish, in other cases I’ve been advised to convert to be sure, so it’s created a complicated situation for me.

    This was the response I got from Jay karzen which seems to be slightly different from the original replies I had received.

    Yes, you are Jewish and Rev. Noah Wolff, acing as Mohel, is certainly qualified and accepted by all modern Orthodox Rabbis in USA…

    I knew that late Rabbi Charney well and he was indeed Conservative. But the fact that Wolff did the Brit Milah on you is significant and should not change your status. You are Jewish! jkarzen

    My Sephardi friend is saying that at the Sephardic synagogues it’s not an issue. I consider myself modern orthodox. My current rabbi is a Israeli Jew of Yemenite background and he is also aware of the situation but has accepted it as valid.

    The sculpture was at a art museum in Bogota I visited. Yes people have mentioned I have big hands but I am a tall guy.

    I don’t know what’s up with the weird glasses but I think mine are relatively modern, they are small frame titanium with UV protection.
