I still think we lose some of what we are by ignoring the Jewish part of the Christian heritage.

I couldn't agree more. I think mormons sometimes feel a closer kinship to ancient Isreal (remember Judah was only one of Jacob's twelve sons, which is why I don't limit it to just the Jews) than they do to present day Christians. Its part of our heritage, both from the Old Testament and the Book of Mormon. Although we consider ourselves Christian, few others do because our doctrine is far removed from what the Catholics and Reformists believe. We are unabashed about the difference and don't claim to descend from either group, but claim kinship to the early Christian church before all of the apostles were killed off and the church morphed into a church run by men rather than by Christ.
