Mother's side

[Gal328]

I don't know where to put this particular topic,but here it goes.


A Jewish person wouldn't acknowlege you as Jewish Unless thier Mother was Jewish. Why is that the case and why can't it be through the Father instead?


( This doesn't include the ones who come in through Faith. )


Thank you for your response.

In the Bible, Israelite men who had taken women from their neighbors were told on one or two occasions to send their wife and their children by that woman away from them, because they were not to mix with the nations. Jews interpret this as meaning that if the mother isn't a jew, the child isn't either.
