There are two different things that consist of being Jewish. One is the religion, and the other is the ethnic group. To be an ethnic Jew, you have to be born that way, to be a religious Jew you have to join.

Are you to have bread and wine on the Sabbath day?

A Jew is to have bread with every meal, if he can afford it, and to begin the meal by reciting a blessing in gratitude to the one who makes it possible for him to have the bread. Whatever the eating habits of the Jew may be, the three Sabbath meals should be the best, even if they can only be slightly better than the others. Wine is a most appropriate embellishment for a Sabbath meal, and in fact the Sabbath dinner and lunch ideally should both begin with blessings over wine, in gratitude to the one who makes it possible for the Jew to have the wine.

Did edward dunlop have religious experiences?

Yes, in fact he did. One day he encountered a Jew. He then captured the Jew and trapped the Jew in his basement. He then proceeded to rape and torture the Jew for 40 days and nights before gassing the Jew, as should be done with the entire disgusting race. Dunlop didn't like Jews. Most of his religious experiences were much like this one.
