33. Some define Jewish by Heritage.
Edited on Sat Oct-02-10 12:22 AM by RandomThoughts
I think Moses would define what it is to be Jewish differently. Many follow old Egyptian traditions. And they may have Egyptian heritage also. So can anyone really say that by heritage? So then it goes from part Jewish, to only those with full Jewish heitage, but who was Abraham's ancestors? Was he Jewish by Heritage?

So are they really Jewish? Or do they pick some laws from that tradition to justify some actions they want to do?

Do we all do that?

What does it mean to be Jewish? Is it by who your ancestors are, or by your choices of how you think and feel on things?
