Now I was "confronted"(not negative) by a jewish friend because my mom is not a practising jew(however she always followed a lot of things as shabbat, etc.) as she married an atheist, the divorced when i was 6 years old, so he hasnt been a part of my life, now my friend belives that I should start converting again, im going to learn hebrew so that I can study the Torah in the holy language, Our Rabbi in denmark is out of country,and therefore I can first meet him in august, but my question is what am I then, I have always been a jew in my conscious right from the early age, I have felt the anti-semitism when i started wearing the kippah, in forms of spitting and abusive language, well, what is Your opinion of my situation.
Be openly honest thats what will help me most.
waiting for you views.

that wouldn't happen in israel. you could move there.
america is less antisemitic than europe.
perhaps your area or country is particularly antisemitic.

I am not a rabbi, but if you are that concern with your status then i guess talk to another orthodox rabbi who is there in the meantime. as much if you have to convert do not feel alone for this issue does appear more often then not. one case invole a women who after the shabbaton wanted to talk to the rabbi and become more religious only to find out that she wasn't jewish because her grandmother converted reform. but this did not stop her, she convert and if i recall she is now living in Israel and never again will this question should araise for her future family...
