[quote=Anonymous]"Jewish" is one of those words with many meanings. An orthodox Jew might consider me Jewish, despite the fact that I am a totally secular atheist, because my mother was Jewish. Most Americans would also consider me Jewish because my family was, regardless of my beliefs. I consider myself Jewish because from as far back as I remember, the word was part of my self-image. Someone else with virtually the same background might not consider himself Jewish because he thinks of it as a religion and happens not to have the self-image. There is no Jewish Vatican to lay down the law on what it means to be Jewish. The one authority who gave a precise definition was Hitler, and his influence has waned. I suppose Isralei law also does so, but it has no weight here.[/quote]
