This is really difficult to put down concisely, it concerns a (just) 16 year old boy in my family. No one in the family seems to know what to do. A couple of years ago he began to be interested in Judaism. Now 2 years later he is obsessed. He claims he is Jewish (he isn't), he attends a school which is sympathetic, actually he's stopped going to school. He's left the parental home and for a while lived with his Granny. Now he seems to be moving around several orthodox Jewish families in Stamford Hill. He's changed his name by deed poll to a Jewish sounding name and now is saying he is going to Israel to study in a seminary. He had a social worker, but now he's 16 they've lost interest. Any ideas?
