I want to know more about the Jewish faith as I have Jewish ancestry and feel drawn to what I understand to be some of principles of the faith. It's altogether a side of my family history that I've ignored because, when my parents were alive, we didn't talk about it much.
I'm a practising Catholic but still I want to explore, not with the intention necessarily of converting, but of deepending my knowledge and understanding.
I've got the chance (because of where I'll be) soon to go to a progressive Synagogue. Can I simply turn up - should I give the Rabbi/office a call first? There's no Synagogue near where I live. Even in this liberal setting, would I need to observe eg dress etiquette (and DH if he comes with me)? I'd certainly make myself known at some point, especially as it may not be the only time I'll go. It seems, on the face of it, to be a welcoming and inclusive place but I don't want to do anything that might seem inappropriate. Many thanks.
