This comes from the religious law. I don’t think it has anything to do with chromosomes. There are still families that traditionally believe that though, despite not being religious. I haven’t met many people who identify as Jewish or partially Jewish due to their father being Jewish though.
One parent is Irish and the other is Jewish.
So what are the religion and nationality of the other parents and why don’t they count?
Jewish is also an ethnicity. That’s why they can be ‘secular’ while still being half Jewish.
In this context Jewish is the ethnicity, Mara actually calls it out in the tweet
Jews have lived in exile for so long that it created a genetically distinct ethnicity.
Yo. Pro tip: Judaism is the religion. Jewish is the ethnicity. A quick search would have told you that.
Judaism is the noun. Jewish is the adjective. A quick education would have told you that.
Jewish in this context refers to an ethnic group, as does Irish
Or one parent was Irish and Jewish and the other was french and atheist
If it’s the mother then they are Jewish, if it’s the father they are not
I didn’t know the genes for Judaism were located in the X chromosome.
That’s how they view it
