I won’t disclose exactly who I have in mind, though I have even plenty of closer relatives of mind; and I have the following to say:
Deal with that if we are descended from the same Jewish ancestors (regardless of if they had to hide their Jewish ethnicity**, and regardless of their individual beliefs), I am part of our common families—although I am most certainly ashamed to be related to you if you are ashamed to be a part of ‘Am Yisra’el.
By the way, God didn’t ask any of us; and Mordechai had to remind Esther of that millennia ago:
“13 Then Mordecai bade them to return answer unto Esther: 'Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. 14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then will relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father's house will perish; and who knoweth whether thou art not come to royal estate for such a time as this?'”
**Which can skew DNA results due to self reporting—including lack thereof. It shows how little you know, and mixed-blooded Jews frequently have to deal with this.
