Is it true??

Question

Is it true that Jewish people are considered true Jews only if they were born Jewish...........meaning their parents were both Jewish? And that if one chooses to convert to Judaism later on in life they will never be considered a true Jew??

Answer 1

not exactly. to the orthodox, you are only considered Jewish if your mother is Jewish. You are considered Jewish if you convert, but it matters what you convert to. If you decided to Reform, the orhodox will not reconize you being Jewish, but if you become Conservative or Orthodox, you will be considered Jewish to everyone.

Answer 2

Well if you are not born to Jewish parents then you cannot be a Jew. However you can take part in the Jewish faith.

Answer 3

My sister in law converted to Judaism so that children born to her and her husband(he is Jewish) would be considered legally and spiritually Jewish.

Answer 4

No.

A convert to Judaism is as Jewish as someone born of a Jewish mum.

Answer 5

Answer 6

for the extremely orthodox traditional jews, yes. for the conservatice and reformed jews no. traditionally, you are a true jew if you are born of a jewish mother.

Answer 7

When you get saved and the Lord enters your heart you become a spiritual Jew.
Read: Romans 2:28-29 (kjv)

Answer 8
