In conservative Judaism, If the Jewish line follows the maternal side and a female Christian converts does that mean all her descendents are Jewish or is there some sort of loop-hole?

"Is that very important ?"

It is important to the people who believe it, ipso facto it's important to me. I can't change extremists, all I can do is learn and better myself.

unless their was something wrong with the conversion itself.

IE the convert did it for reasons such as marriage, or the ones doing the conversion were not valid.

Then you can retroactively say she was never Jewish. Otherwise her children would be considered Jews according to Jewish law.

*Orthodox Judaism dose not consider conversions done by conservative courts valid, so if you want you can use that as a loop-hole.

Is that very important ? I mean just look around how much time is wasted on stuff like this? Religious , race, black and white , Asians, Middle Eastern do you realize that how divided we are all Because of them? Human of the 21st century? I was just reading another question and the answers and couldn't believe some of the names people choose? The human of the 21st century they just full of hatred and they can't live peacefully with other human if they are a little different ! It is really sad! I don't mean to offend you in any form my Friend, but if i can make even one person to realize the facts, i have done good.

Best Regards.

yes, if a non-jewish woman converts to judaism, all of her children born after conversion are considered regular born jews. all of her descendants, however, may not be, if the mothers of her descendants were not jewish.

All of her children will be Jewish. Then, all of her girls' children will be Jewish, etc.
