Can I practice Judaism if I am Jewish by Israeli law?

Anyone can practice Jewish traditions in private, but to fully be Jewish requires acceptance by a Jewish community because full practice of Judaism involves communal as well as personal acts. Israeli law admits some people who are not Jewish by the definition of even the Reform movement, which has the broadest definition of who is a Jew among the larger branches of Judaism. (Why does Israeli law have such a broad definition? Because it was designed to save the lives of those who are persecuted because of their Jewish ancestry, regardless of their status as Jews under traditional Jewish law.)
