Amare Stoudemire is Jewish

I am still confused. Can someone explain to me how he would not know his mother was Jewish? Was he adopted? Am I missing something?

 

His mother could have converted to whatever religion his dad was when they got married so he is jewish by birth? IDK. Happened in family guy.

A facebook friend posted this:

" Amare Stoudemire going to Israel to explore his "Hebrew Roots". He believes is a" Jew spirtually" Note to Amare physical Israel is a piece of land and thats it. Spiritual Israel doesnt require a penny for airfare or a cabin on a boat. Christ has paid the passage into Spiritual Israel with His precious blood. Amare ...learn of Christ He will save you. The trip He has planned no one can pay for!:"

 

well then that list is like only half-complete

 

LOL @ his friends already trying to convert him back.

 

While a Christian could very well argue for him to convert back for spiritual and afterlife reasons, I don't see how this is an argument stopping him from going to Israel. There is a lot of history and cultural discovery to be had in Israel, whether you're Jewish, Christian, or Muslim.

 

what is that supposed to mean smart ass
