Why do the people who devote their lives to studying the scriptures of the religion get to be the ones who decide what’s acceptable within the religion and what’s not?
Because they’re literally the subject matter experts. It’s also pretty damn clear in the tanach too. In order to perform the mitzvah you need to be Jewish.
I’m not offended by how you choose to practice your religion, I’m pointing out that what you’re doing is absolutely cultural appropriation and off sides with the understood practice of the religion as a whole. You’re the one who seems to be offended by being called out on this, and that’s for you to come to grips with not me.
There’s like 3 dozen angles to why your shiksa wife and kids shouldn’t be saying brachot. It’s more of a fact based gish gallop than moving the goal posts.
And yes Rabbi’s as the stewards of Judaism get to make the call what’s authentically Jewish and what’s not. That you’re unaware of these basic tenets of your culture and heritage is pretty fucking weird.
As I said above, you’re welcome to keep larp’ing as a Jewish family but you’re just lying to yourself and others. You seem to be really offended by this fact, maybe seeking counsel from a rabbi would help you with your conflicted emotions.
That you think that’s a bigoted term just reinforces your complete lack of understanding of your culture and the language that is at the root of it. Your wife and children are Gentiles, you’re pretending they’re Jewish. Shiksa is 100% the appropriate term, even if your parents used it derogatorily in your household.
Even if I’m insulting them with a bigoted term, based on this conversation it’s fucking deserved LoL. People larp’ing as another religion as the lowest of the low.
I said she performed the prayer once. Because she’s a folklorist. You also decided I have more than one child, which sure is news to me if it isn’t a lie.
But hey, why not keep lying after you’ve told one lie, am I right? I’m pretty sure the god you foolishly believe in says lying is bad. It’s somewhere in the Torah, right? Or did they take out Deuteronomy 19 and Leviticus 19?
Stop saying things that aren’t true. Calling me a liar will not make the things you claim I said true. It also won’t make you any less of a bigot.
You are still a bigot and still a liar and aren’t even brave enough to admit it.

I like how you keep ignoring the fact that the vast majority of Jews clearly don’t give a shit about what Rabbis think.
Basically you’re saying that Rabbis get to decide what Jews consider to be cultural appropriation and Jews as a whole do not.
Which is nonsense.

Wow. Didn’t take long for your bigotry to come out, did it?

I’m not pretending they’re Jewish, that’s a lie. I specifically said the opposite. And ‘shiksa’ is a bigoted word. You are a bigot and a liar.
You said they’re performing the prayers. That’s pretending to be something you’re not, and it’s gross.
Stop larp’ing and stop lying about being something you’re not.
That’s another lie.

So she said the prayer. You admitted that. Case closed. You’re just justifying your guilt now and it’s pathetic.
