Am I half jewish?

My mom or father were not born jewish, but before I was born my dad converted to judaism, am I half jewish?

Answer #1

You are whatever religion you choose to be. If you want to be Jewish like your dad, then yes you are, but I think you’d be fully Jewish. I don’t think it is possible to be half a religion, you are either part of a religion or not part of a religion.

Answer #2

If one of your parents are a Jew(the race) then yes. If you’re talking about the religion, then no. You’re whatever you choose to be.

Answer #3

‘If you believe in the teachings/doctrines of Judaism, then you are all (not half) Jewish (religion).’

SORRY but you are wrong…

Only through your own personal conversion or your mother being jewish are you jewish…THAT IS JEWISH LAW…the FAITH, the religion

and goyourownway and 13th…what EXACTLY is the jewish race???

Answer #4

If you believe in the teachings/doctrines of Judaism, then you are all (not half) Jewish (religion).

You are not Jewish (culture/race) because as opposed to most other national, cultural, and ethnic traditions, Jewish lines trace on the mother’s side of the family. So if it were your mom who had converted, then I think you’d be considered a Jew.

Hope this helps. :)

Answer #5

You cant be half a religion

Answer #6

…no…

Answer #7

Not by blood. But by conversion I suppose you are half Jewish.

Answer #8

you CAN”T be half Jewish. You are Jewish or not is simple as that. Judaism is not a race..Israeli is but Judaism is a Religion..the fact that your dad is Jewish doesnt make you Jewish..Now if your mom had converted before you were born and raised you with the Jewish beliefs you are Jewish if not No..To become a Jew you have to Convert just like your dad did
