Re: [Cz-L] Dr. Pitor Czerniewicz

Having a Jewish mother (certified by an appropriate rabbi, I suppose)
makes it easier to be ³certified" as Jewish, but it is neither necessary
or sufficient to have a Jewish mother. If it were necessary, Avraham
would not have been Jewish and we wold be in a mess. Practicing Judaism
is necessary. Deciding what it means to be ³practicing Judaism² is a
whole other problem. There is no genetic code for Jews. There are many
Jews who do not have a Jewish mother.

OK, how does this very complex question fit into this discussion group?
