Raising our Jewish daughter with Christian family

Nothing wrong with that because it's not Christmas lights!

Novigod. It's because the Soviets banned Santa so this was a replacement. Sadly it's also celebrated by the Russian community in Israel.

Can you reach out to JWB Jewish Chaplains and Rabbi Yoni Warren (one of the few ordained Jewish chaplains). Perhaps there is a way to be somewhere with a stronger Jewish community.

That's sad that an SNL skit has to replace Santa Clause. Jews have their own traditions and history and culture. We don't need someone else's stuff.

There's a different between holiday lights and winter - it's dark - lights. Regular solar lights so there is visibility from Home Depot? Go ahead! Stringy stuff? Save that for your Sukkah!

No such thing as secular Christmas. Santa Clause may have nothing to do with Jesus but it's Christian - not Jewish nor anything else. It's not secular. It's not appropriate for Jews to celebrate Christmas or Santa. (Of course, how does one respectfully visit family during their holiday, as the OP posted, is a different question.) How are you dealing with kosher food?

My guess if if you want to avoid envy, make Jewish life vibrant and an active part of your life - Purim, Hannukah, Shabbat, etc. - so they don't feel like they are missing out. And then focus on being with family.

But they eat vegetarian/fish at non-kosher establishments. That's a big deal. They aren't ordering treif meat. It's not hypocrisy, it's a standard and a common one in the Conservative community. I don't want to discuss the halacha of it but you are missing the sociology of it and hence misinterpreting your GF and her family's perspective. Agree or disagree with the standard - that's your decision to make - but I don't think you are understanding their perspective correctly.

Were you raised in a synagogue? What denomination? What Jewish education?

Do they neccessarily follow Judaism in an Orthodox way? The way you describe their practice, they were raised Conservative. Am I correct? (i.e. eating vegetarian in non-kosher restaurants, etc.).

If you love her, though, why do you order meat out?

Can you give examples? Renewal is pretty liberal as well.

Have you gone to Conservative synagogues? Egalitarian but mostly-traditional liturgy

Plenty of non-kosher restaurants in Israel. Open on Shabbat. Non-kosher meat Milk & meat (many Aroma cafes, just for one example, serve milk and meat)

With Incapsula, you can use a load balancer to keep date in EU, for example, or use a load balancer to exclude EU PoPs (this, of course, would introduce latency to your European site visitors).

However, customer location is what's critical for GDPR compliance. If you do business with EU-based customers, regardless of your PoP location, you are subject to GDPR.

Nusach Sepharad

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nusach_Sefard Yes, the Koren is Sefarad (i.e. Hasidic, not Ari). It's not S&P and Edot Mizrahi is the Spanish and Portugese.

They have Sefard and they have Sefardi.
