    What does “half Jewish half Irish” even mean?

    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?

            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.
