[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]do you consider a person with one jewish parent or grandparent a jew?[/quote] Only on the mother's side. i.e. if its your mother or your mother's mother. I dont believe people with only a Jewish father are Jewish. [/quote]lots of jews marry outside of the religion/culture and i've heard many jews voice fears that this can potentially contribute to a loss of observant jews. does this factor at all in your belief in lineage from the mother?[/quote] Yes. Every time, a jewish male marries a non-jewish female and has children, those children are not jewish (unless the mom or the kids convert). This lessens the number of jews and the number of observant jews. Honestly though, even if a jewish woman were to marry a non-jewish man, while her kids would still be jewish, the chance of her kids intermarrying is probably much greater as well. Intermarriage contributes to a loss of jews, observant and non-observant. [/quote]
