Can a Jewish woman have a non Jewish son?
But that grandson is still considered your son. That being so, we see that the child of a Jewish woman, even when the father is not Jewish, is still considered Jewish—”your son.” 10 The other possibility is that this is speaking of your son, the one who took a non-Jewish woman. The “he” that is turning him away is his non-Jewish father-in-law.
Can a person born outside of Israel become an Israeli citizen?
Persons born outside Israel are Israeli citizens if their father or mother holds Israeli citizenship, acquired either by birth in Israel, under the Law of Return, by residence, or by naturalization. Citizenship by descent, on the principle of jus sanguinis, is limited to only one generation born abroad.
Is the entry line into Judaism through mother or father?
(If your father is Jewish, but not your mother, please see To a Child of a Jewish Father.) Some aspects of Judaism, like the priesthood, are clearly patrilineal (see Patrilineal Descent in Judaism, below). But the entry line into Jewishness has always been through the mother—or conversion.
Why does the Torah say Jewishness is matrilineal?
Rabbinic tradition, then, is that at least from the time that the Torah was given, Jewishness has followed the mother. As we’ve seen, Ezra and his scribes had the same tradition. In the Talmud,8 we find that Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai provides support for the rule of matrilineal descent from a passage in Deuteronomy.

What does the Bible say about having a baby without a razor?
And no razor shall come over his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hand of the Philistines.” You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razor because the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb.
