Interesting, in the jewish faith, don't the children take the mother's faith?  If her mom is still Catholic, would that make her Catholic?

I wanted to answer your question.
I am jewish.
There are many shades of "Jew".  There are orthodox, conservative, reform, hasidic, traditional etc etc etc variants of the religion.  Things also can vary by geographical area, as I learned myself having grown up in the midwest and then being transplanted 35 yrs later to the east coast.
Once upon a time it was considered if your mother was of the jewish faith, it would technically be passed on through you regardless of what you chose to practice (I guess in the eyes of God). During times of religious genocide, zealots did not care if you were jewish from your paternal side or maternal side, you were jewish.
Like many other things in these times--anything goes. Many times parents will take a little bit of this from one religion and a little bit of that from another.
I can not answer what her particular situation is--but certainly as in other mixed religion families, what they chose to do was what worked for them.

Thanks for the post Kasha, but didn't Andi indicate she practices one over the other?  I'm sure that it won't come up until it's too late.  LOL

Like I said in my last sentence,  I can't tell you what her particular situation is or what works for her.
In my own situation, my nephew who is jewish and raised reformed, but with strong family traditions just got engaged to a young woman who is not jewish. Meantime, my niece--his sister is in rabbinical school and her fiance is also studying to be a rabbi. These things are all very individualized as I am sure happens in most religions in our present times.
I'm sure if religion were really a deal breaker for her, she would have gone on J-date.(a well known jewish online dating site)

Thank you for the explanation, Kasha!  My only experience is with two couples where the man was jewish and the woman was not.  In one case the woman was being strongly encouraged to convert, so that any possible children would be jewish without question.  This particular girl was a bit of a drama queen, so she might have made it sound more serious than it was.  My other friends, the couple was jewish and hindu.  She did not convert and they did have a combined wedding with jewish and hindu traditions.  I haven't kept up so not sure how they are raising the children.

I know from living in Atlanta that their is a strong jewish community in Atlanta as well as a strong catholic community so it could be either one.  Or she may not be very religious either way.  

On the bachelor, I remember her telling JPG he was catholic, but I don't know that she said what her religion was when she asked him if he knew her religion.  I thought it was catholic like him, which would make him not knowing something they share even funnier.  I also refuse to watch any scene from this show more than once (with one exception) so I can't confirm that she didn't say it there.

Regarding the bolded....After she asked him if he knew what her religion was and he gave her his blank stare, she answered Jewish so I am assuming that is what she identifies as.
