I know you didn't mean anything bad by it, but for future reference, the term "True Jew" is kind of offensive, especially to those who chose Judaism. You could rephrase it as first hubby's "mother was Jewish" and for the second hubby, "he converted to Judaism" or "chose Judaism."

Sort of like when Messianic Jews (Jews for Jesus) call themselves "completed Jews". That term doesn't go over real well in the Jewish community.

HAPPY HANUKKAH.......
