Currently Playing: You Stayed In The Mormon Church & Your Husband Was Right | Mommy Issues Podcast

Thank God (and dad) that I didn't have to go to Jewish day school but I still had to go to Hebrew School even though I was always hungry and they didn't like it when I tried to sneak in an egg and cheese sandwich. So I had to find the parts of Judaism I liked on my own terms. So what if you're a practicing Mormon who's family is still in the Mormon Church but your husband and his family left the Mormon Church and you're not sure which direction to raise your kid? A Jewish son and Jewish mother weigh in on this Mormon/Agnostic pickle.
