I have never gotten to see that, the opposite direction of my family. That would be pretty unsettling too! I'm Jewish too, but again division, Mom's side was Reform, Dad's was Conservative. My paternal grandmother was very snippy about being surprised that Mom could actually read the Hebrew and knew the prayers better than my dyslexic father. I have my dad's eyes, which were his mother's, and are now also my daughter's. :-)
