Hello I recently found out some major things I always suspected my father was not my biological father and I finally got a DNA test and it states I was half European Jewish. My parents finally admited my mom had a one night stand before she met my father who raised me.
I am now doubly upset because from what I reasd being a half Jew I would not be accepted by Jews and I could not marry a Jew.
So I feel like I was not wanted by my original bio Jewish father and now I find out I am half Jewish and I feel the religion will not accept me . What am I suppose to do just not embrace the half Jew part of me I just found out?

Reason: fixed title to remove "bastard"
there is no such thing as being half Jewish.
a person is either Jewish or not Jewish.
Are you saying your biological father was Jewish? and your mother is not Jewish.
So you are not Jewish.
if you want to learn about Judaism then you can learn about Judaism.
if you decide to become Jewish you can convert.
if you don't want to become Jewish then you don't convert.
you are still you.
that has not changed.
i did not find out I was Jewish until I was almost 50. it was very upsetting to me that no one ever told me. it caused a lot of internal upheaval for me.
the more you learn about yourself and your history and your ancestors and your heritage, the more you are able to come to terms with your new knowledge, and the more strong you feel inside in terms of self-awareness and what decisions to make that are best for you.
it is not correct to say that "the religion will not accept you." jews are thrilled when people discover they have Jewish heritage. you are not Jewish under Jewish law. but you have a connection to the Jewish people, the Jewish people are very vibrant and welcoming of people seeking to learn more about your people and your heritage and your ancestry. they will love to hear your story, your discovery, you will be asked about where he lived (your father) what country what city what decade what village what names are in your family, people will be very very interested in you in a way that is sincere and genuine.
I am very overwhelmed though I am not sure if you can imagine being raised by Muslim father but he never made me be Muslim I was free to choose and then find out your half Jewish.
Judaism is passed down through the mother. If you mother is not Jewish then you re not Jewish. Also, I don't really like Seinfeld (haven't watched Curb). I do like vodka but I'm not Russian. I like scotch tape but I don't wear a kilt. My grandfather is from outside Warsaw, but I don't Polish my shoes. Crazy world we live in.

And you wanted to be my architect?
I thought you was cool man, don't you know that real Jews have derived a pure language by only interacting with people using quotes from Seinfeld?
These pretzels are making me thirsty.
