Question
My maternal grandmother and grandfather were both Jews, yet they were converted to Christians.
I was raised as a Christian, am I a Jew? Would I have to convert to Judaism?
Answer
You are Jewish, and if you have proof that your maternal grandmother was Jewish, no conversion should be asked for.
