Who's to say s/he's not Jewish? And as far as "born to a Jewish parent", that's precisely my point: parent, or mother?

On the other hand, no matter WHAT you do, up to and including joining a monastery, you can't get "out"!! You'll always be Jewish if you were simply born to a Jewish parent of either gender. I understand the distinction between having a Jewish mother and having a Jewish father; but either way, half the genes you carry are JEWISH GENES. I'm personally glad I can't turn my back on it; I wouldn't even want to try. As for non-Jewish prisoners demanding kosher meals, this is lying and cheating and gross dishonor among thieves.
