enough with these rabbis/rabies

There is more evidence in the Tanach to suggest that it is through the line of the mother, though you are right, it doesn't say outright one way or the other. That all would actually matter if it was explicit in GEMORRA, which contrary to your rantings is neither tradition nor post-biblical and is the unadulterated word of G-d followed by the Jewish people for MILLENIA. I realise you want to change it, after all, that is the nature of the secular/quasi-religious. They want to make things easier for THEM. Unfortunately the numbers are against you my friend and in time, there will be no more Reform, no more Masorti, no more "Secular Jews". There will only be Jews, following one G-d and one Torah. Have a good day, now! :)

Jewish enough for one thing - not Jewish enough for the other - an everyday occurrence in this country - fact.

One always knows who the mother of a new born baby is, who the father is, one does not always know.

You have made a mistake. This is Ynet News.Not The Jerusalem Post, Jerusalem Online (the video here) is not from the Jerusalem Post but from Channel 2 News.

I see shes Jewish enough to serve in the army and die for Israel yet come the time of her tragic death we once again have the rabinute adding to the grief of the family. At least she served her country unlike your parasite ultra orthadox pals who only know how to take. Discustig dosent begin to describe it , shame on you.

Rabbis allowing or demanding something like that should be ashamed! You can find an exuse for anything and it won't make it morally right if it is not. Sad to see that nothing was learnt by some people in awful tragedies of 20th century.
