How Jewish am if your dad birth mother was Jewish?

In: Judaism [Edit categories]

Answer:

In the Orthodox and Conservative sects you can only be Jewish if your mother is Jewish. Reform Jews accept a child to be Jewish if his/her father is Jewish but many Reform Rabbi's will still convert the child into Judaism in this case. There is no "how Jewish am i?" You are either Jewish or you are not.
