Lev, always good to see a fellow LHS grad doing well.  My comment though is that if your dad is Jewish, it seems like an oversimplification to simply say that you are not.  If I tell you my dad is Irish and that my name is Sean O'Malley, doesn't it sound a little weird if I tell you I don't ""consider myself"" Irish at all?  Ashkenazi Jews make up a distinctive historical ethnic group separate from the Jewish religion.  Of course you can consider yourself anything you want.  Take care!    "
