My children have a Jewish father who was raised in a secular home. We have acknowledged both of our backgrounds throughout our childrens' lives--celebrating both traditions, Passover, Hanukkah, Easter and Christmas. We have cultivated a respect for both backgrounds and honored both traditions. I imagine that this may have been the situation in Adam's childhood home as well.He has identified himself as Jewish, and I once saw his application form for AI where the word Catholic was written down next to religious affiliation.I think Adam may have expressed his love and respect for both of his parents by acknowledging both backgrounds while not necessarily adhering to any formal religion.This has been the case for my children as well. Of course I don't speak for Adam here and I could be entirely wrong on how/what he feels. Just expressing observations made throughout the years of listening to Adam, since this topic had some personal interest for me.
In any case, I still think it would be a lovely journey for Adam and his mom to see Israel together, considering their family background...and the love and respect they have for each other.

JUST WONDERING---If Adam's mom will attend the concert in Israel. That would be a special journey for both of them.... Seems highly unlikely. While I think performing in Israel will be special for Adam, he has no personal connection to Israel except that he is Jewish -- many American Jews (including my family) have only a vague connection to Israel because their ancestors came to the US from Eastern Europe and Russia 50+ years before Israel was founded (1948). And yet it is a special place for me.

I agree that if his Mom was there it would be a special night for both of them. It is the one Q+AL concert of this mini-tour I considered but the schedule would not work for me. :( But I have a feeling that it will be a special concert even without me.

I remember a UK radio interview a number of years ago. They wanted him to make a promo recording saying "Merry Christmas." Instead, he said "Happy Holidays." They asked him to do it again, saying "Merry Christmas" and he politely but firmly refused saying he was Jewish. In another radio interview the DJs wanted to play a game where they would sing a line from a Christmas carol and then Adam would sing the next one. He explained he was Jewish, but they went right ahead with the game. He didn't know most of the carols well enough to sing a line. I don't think Adam is Jewish in terms of faith, but more in terms of tradition or culture. I am sure he knows some Christmas traditions and songs, how could he not in this country? And he did teach that TV host in China to sing "O Holy Night." But, I don't think he participates actively in Christmas. Pretty sure he went to Alisan Porter's Christmas Eve party a few years ago. I think he participates in both as he wants

Thank you for sharing your playlist! It's on when I wake up in the morning until I go to work and back on again when I get home until I go to sleep. One of my cats. who sits next to me at the computer, knows every song, word for word.
