I completely agree with that. It's rather presumptuous to say that everyone who is proselytized to regarding Jesus will and should automatically and without question, shun their own centuries old religions AND cultures lest they burn in hell for all eternity.
The particular household that I was raised in is Christian but we have menorahs and stars of David prominently displayed and were taught their symbolism and meaning. So i'm probably more subconciously attuned to your faith.
I in fact would like to take it further and celebrate Passover and other Jewish holidays, like Jesus did. As a christian though.
