this is LITERALLY the first post I made on the thread.
Also here is some info about Jewdisem, if you are born jew, you are a jew no matter what religion of faith you take. In order to be born a jew, all your female ancestors must be Jewish.
“matrilineal descent in Judaism is the tracing of Jewish descent through the maternal line. Virtually all Jewish communities have practiced matrilineal descent from at least early Tannaitic (c. 10-70 CE) times to Modern times. Source:

NEJ = not ethnically Jewish
Jewish mother x Jewish father = Jewish child
Jewish mother x NEJ born father = Jewish child
NEJ mother x Jewish father = NEJ child
” Jewish identity is also commonly defined through ethnicity . Opinion polls have suggested that the majority of Jews see being Jewish as predominantly a matter of ancestry and culture, rather than religion.” Source:

” marriage between a Jew and a gentile (non Jew born) is both prohibited and also void under Jewish law.” Source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interfaith_marriage_in_Judaism
This is so important in Jewdisem that in Israel nowadays you CANNOT legally marry someone who’s ethnically Jewish ( matrilineal) to some who is not ethnically Jewish unless they convert to the Jewish religion.
“ In Israel, marriages can be performed only under the auspices of the religious community to which couples belong, and no religious intermarriages performed in the country are legally recognized. “ source:
“ The Israeli Interior Ministry registers marriages on presentation of proper documentation. Israel’s religious authorities — the only entities authorized to perform weddings in Israel — are prohibited from marrying couples unless both partners share the same religion. Therefore, interfaith couples can be legally married in Israel only if one of the partners converts to the religion of the other. However, civil, interfaith and same-sex marriages entered into abroad (Traveled outside Israel to marry and return) are recognized by the state. “

Everyone in my family is ethnically Jewish (All their female ancestors are Jewish, lived and married within a Jewish community) meaning even if I convert to any other religion or forsaken my Jewdiem (won't identify as Jewish) I will still be recognized as a Jew by Jewdisem laws.
