Ok, isn't it determined whether you're jewish or not based on your mother?
I just found out that my mother's mother's mother was jewish. Does that technically make me a jew too? -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

Well, I don't think she's ever actually practiced judaism. But since her mom was technically a jew, doesn't that make her technically a jew too?

From Wiki (the pinnacle of human civilization):
QUOTE The North American and British Reform movement has changed some of the traditional requirements for a Jewish identity in two ways: (1) Children born of just one Jewish parent — regardless of whether the father or mother is Jewish — can claim a Jewish identity. A child of only one Jewish parent who does not claim this identity has, in the eyes of the Reform movement, forfeited his/her Jewish identity. By contrast, the traditional view is that any child born to a Jewish mother is Jewish, whether or not he/she is raised Jewish, or even whether the mother considers herself Jewish. So, yes or no depending on whether you go by Orthodox or Reform rules. And if your great-grandmother was a Jew by conversion, it still doesn't count by Orthodox law.

QUOTE (pebkac @ Nov 26 2006, 02:17 AM) Ok, isn't it determined whether you're jewish or not based on your mother? I just found out that my mother's mother's mother was jewish. Does that technically make me a jew too? I actually just found myself in the exact same situation. My mother's mother's maiden name was Saenz, which apparently was a name that was taken by Jews as they were hiding in Spain during the inquisition. My family was ulitimaltey caught and forced to become Catholic, but then I guess they got their revenge when Spain went to conquer Mexico creating a lineage of MexiJews. I told this to my boss, who is the product of a Levy and a Cohen, and was born in Israel and therefore to me is a superjew. She was beyond excited when I told her about my family's discovery and according to her, any Rabbi would consider me Jewish. For example, she was just married about 2 months ago, to a Catholic man. This guy had to go through a very complicated conversion process that took him nearly 2 years. I on the otherhand could just walk in and say, "Hi I'm Jewish." And off we'd go. Then she suggested that I create a profile on JDate. And that she can't wait to help plan my wedding. So in anycase Pebkac, it sounds like you're in! |
