Question
I asked a question recently what it means to be a Jew if you don't believe in Judaism and the answer was that you're a Jew if your mother is a Jew no matter your belief. This is confusing to me what makes one's mother Jewish if it's not faith?
Answer
Like I explained previously, a Jew remains a Jew even without believing in God. Being Jewish means being part of the Jewish people, and this connection cannot be severed.
As I explained, a Jew remains a Jew even if he does not believe in God. Someone who is part of the Jewish people cannot sever his connection to it
