Untrue. These frauds have created their own council and go through phony 'conversions' that are not recognized as legitimate. Only if your Mother is a Jew are you a Jew. Otherwise you must convert. Orthodox do not recognize Reform conversions. They would consider these guys a total joke.
As I said, if they are following the Jewish religion, in all their precepts, they are Jewish. I didn’t say that if they just call themselves Jewish, they are Jewish.
that was my understanding
Otherwise you must convert. -- I don't understand that -- Jonty corrected me that a person who is not genetically descended from Jacob can become a Jew. I'm confused by your statement montag -- what of someone who is not descended from Jacob -- can they convert?
