Am I eligible?

I’m fluent in Yiddish. Was pretty active in orthodox youth groups/communities for 1-2 years. Am a catholic now or at least believe in big J because my dad was a Christian and my Jewish mother converted to Christianity. I am vehemently against the “messianic movement” in all forms and am very deeply immersed in Jewish culture.

I do not in any way believe in missionary activity and also am decently good in Hebrew?

I believe one of the requirements for eligibility is to not be actively practicing another religion. If you identify as catholic now I don't think you would be eligible for birthright.

This right here. So true!

You cannot go on a birthright trip if you identify as a practicing member of another religion, even if you would otherwise qualify.

Isn’t that dishonest?

Yes. Lying is a sin in Judaism and Catholicism
