That's great, and I'd be very glad to help you. I'm sure you wouldn't go around assuming this about all Jewish people, let alone all $minority members, but I personally really enjoy being the "ask me about my weird religion" person. From being the only Jewish kid in my primary school to being the Jewish contact person in the university where I work, plus being very ready to answer questions on DW.

I have been personally involved in Reform, Liberal and Conservative (Masorti) communities, and have strong connections with Orthodox communities. I know a whole lot about the Jewish Queer scene, if you're interested in that stuff. I'm essentially a lay leader, I do a load of community education and running services, so I know a fair amount of as it were technical religious stuff. My dad's family have a "typical" Jewish story of immigration from Eastern Europe c 1900, my mum's family have been in the UK since the 18th century. Also I have a whole bunch of resources for finding out about specific topics, though it sounds like you're ok on the theory side.

Don't at all feel you have to come up with a question right now; let me know any time something comes up.
