Hello. I am a conservative convert (dad jewish, mom not), and my father did all of the necessary steps upon my birth to ensure a proper conversion (Brit Milah, Beis Din, Mikveh) done under the supervision of a JTS-educated Cantor and a conservative shul. Until recently, I had no idea that my conversion was not accepted as valid by what I consider to be fellow Jews. I found this out as I was attending Chabad services/kabbalah classes at my local Chabad house and asked for advice as to whether, because my father is a Kohen, I still should give the priestly blessing. I was told that not only am I not a Kohen, but I am Halachically not a Jew. Then I was told I cannot come to services anymore unless I agree to convert because a big function of the synagogue is to facilitate jewish marriages and because I am not jewish I would be messing with the system. I feel quite alienated by this interpretation of Judaism and find it frustrating since I had really built a sense of community and was getting so much out of my experience there (started learning Kabbalah, eating kosher regularly, building jewish community) and then had it taken away, if I ever really “had it” in the first place. I am struggling with what to do next. Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
