I am looking for answers. I have discovered my last name is considered a Jewish name. Glasser. I was raised Lutheran,as are all of my family. Is it possible to become Jewish even though I believe in Jesus and the New Testament

3Jeremy, welcome to Mi Yodeya! Please see judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/52891/am-i-jewish regarding the general question of how one might determine if one is Jewish. If you suspect that you might be Jewish and want a professional ruling or advice on whether you are, I recommend that you consult a rabbi. We offer potentially-helpful information but can't make that determination for you.– Isaac Moses ♦Sep 8, 2015 at 18:18

1It should be noted that Jewish status and Jewish practice are not the same. One could have the Jewish status (if his mother were Jewish or underwent a conversion; see the linked questions in the other comments) even if (s)he does not practice Judaism. Best of luck finding answers.– mevaqeshSep 8, 2015 at 18:29

1Regarding "Is it possible to become Jewish?" see Is it possible for a Gentile to convert to Judaism?. Again, if you're interested in advice on whether you personally can or should become Jewish, I recommend consulting a rabbi.– Isaac Moses ♦Sep 8, 2015 at 18:47
