With respect to Dianne Feinstein's parentage, the story as I understand it
is that her mother is a Christian and her father's last name is Feinstein
and her father considered himself to be Jewish. I have no inkling of
whether his mother was Jewish or not.

In any case, Di Fi was given a sketchy education in both her mother's
and father's religions, and told that she would be allowed to choose 
her religion when she attained adulthood.
At twenty-one she "decided" to be Jewish. As far as I can
discern, no conversion ever took place.

P.S. To her credit, she has said that she doesn't think that this "choosing
when you're an adult" bit is such a great idea.
