That's not the way Jewish law looks at it.
His Mother was Jewish, so he was born a Jew.
That will never change. Being Jewish has nothing to do with a person's beliefs.
It is an ethnic category.

Woody Allen is a comedian and a writer. He looks at ideas from all sides.
You should try doing this someday. "Sleeper" is a great science fiction satire
that also satirizes politics, philosophy and religion. Next time it's on,
don't just watch it, listen to it.

He never married Farrow. CULTURALLY, she was a stepdaughter, but
not legally.

The whole mess is complicated by Soon-Yi's Korean orphan background.
Nobody is quite sure when she was born, so Allen may be in the clear
on statutory rape.

I could never watch "Manhattan" again after all this came out, and

That's nice, but it isn't true. I grew up among German Jews who had nothing but disdain for Eastern European Jews. Middle eastern Jews, Yemenis, Persians, etc., are their own groups as well. It goes on and on. Calling Jews an "ethnic" group is just a conceit of the Jewish community, a group that is always a minority and looks for security in thinking they all share a common ethnicity. The Jews of Beth Sholom in Elkins Park, PA, are sure hell not the same as the Hasidim of Brownsville, Brooklyn. Jews disagree on all sorts of theological points and points of practice as well. The Orthodox Rabbis of Israel don;t want to recognize the Reformed Jews of America, not because of who their mothers were, but because of their core beliefs. There are splinter groups of Jews all over forming their own congregations. Jews are as splintered as Christians, with theological disputes among their believers that are just as silly as the theological disputes among Christians. There is some evidence for genetic commonality among Jews. Given the fact that Judaism originated in the Middle East and Jews in general married other Jews, and did not aggressively attempt to convert others (because they are, of course, the "chosen people"), it stands to reason they'd all be sixth or seventh cousins to one another. That genetic relationship doesn't necessarily reflect ethnic identity, however.

Personal hatreds have nothing to do with legal realities. Jewish law considers all Jews equal and converts to Judaism are full-fledged Jews under our laws.
Your babble is genetic nonsense. According to a poll, 59% of American Jews marry non-Jews. That's right.

My ancestors were all Russians. I have no Hebrew ancestors.
The truth is that conversions to Judaism in Europe destroyed any sort of genetic identity among us. Whole nations converted to Judaism in Europe, the Khazars in Russia being the most prominent. I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in Chicago.
None of the families there had Hebrew ancestors or Hebrew names.
Most originated in Eastern Europe, not the Middle East.

My Grandfather's last name was Tandofsky. My friend's GF was Agronsky.
Many of them took new last names when they reached America simply because their
Slavic last names were so hard to pronounce. Poles and Russians predominated.

So do Americans.

The Orthodox Rabbis of Israel don;t want to recognize the Reformed Jews of America, not because of who their mothers were, but because of their core beliefs.

Proof???????????????????

There are splinter groups of Jews all over forming their own congregations. Jews are as splintered as Christians, with theological disputes among their believers that are just as silly as the theological disputes among Christians.

OH! Am I to consider you an objective observer on theology? ROTFL.
Don't make me laugh.

There is some evidence for genetic commonality among Jews.

I think you may be right. But I've also heard that it's a choice, not a protest.

------------

Statutory rape laws came from, as most laws do, common sense. Getting a girl pregnant before she is fully mature is dangerous to her health and so this became codified into law.

However, these laws vary. In some states the age is 18. In others, it's 16. And in some countries its 12.

Now, I don't want to be a prude here, but fucking TWELVE?

At 12 girls should be playing with dolls, not dicks.

16 is an appropriate age of consent and the correct age to lose your virginity is 17.

How can it be adultery? Farrow and Allen were legally single.
They didn't cohabit, and New York doesn't recognize "common
law" marriage.

It's only rape if a) Soon-Yi didn't consent or
b.) you can prove Allen had sex with her when she was below
the age of consent.

Whatever it was, it was extraordinarily unwise.

Farrow had her own experience with May/December romance. She
married Frank Sinatra, age 51, when she was a mere 21. Like
mother, like daughter? She did get herself pregnant by a married
man, Andre Previn, and that broke up that marriage.

Farrow was the Angelina Jolie of her day, collecting
even more adopted kids than AJ.

They're both their own right hand man.

Mia committed adultery, sure. And to cohabitate is just as bad. And she wanted Woody to behave like a father to her children and not like a lover. This incident could be the result of Mia taking part in the movie Rosemary's Baby. Chastisement comes in many forms.

It goes on and on. Calling Jews an "ethnic" group is just a conceit of the Jewish community, a group that is always a minority and looks for security in thinking they all share a common ethnicity. The Jews of Beth Sholom in Elkins Park, PA, are sure hell not the same as the Hasidim of Brownsville, Brooklyn.

I don't particularly care what you consider me. I am right, though, and your incapacity to respond just confirms that.

Given the fact that Judaism originated in the Middle East and Jews in general married other Jews, and did not aggressively attempt to convert others (because they are, of course, the "chosen people"), it stands to reason they'd all be sixth or seventh cousins to one another. That genetic relationship doesn't necessarily reflect ethnic identity, however.

There is considerable evidence of genetic commonality among Jews. Here's one article on it in a Jewish publication: http://www.haaretz.com/jewish/dna-links-prove-jews-are-a-race-says-genetics-expert-1.428664

From the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/10/science/10jews.html

There are literally hundreds of articles on it. Do a search.

Yes, and Hitler complained about it. On the other hand, the British rounded up Jewish refugees, declared them enemy aliens and deported them to Australia where there were kept in concentration camps. All of that's not relevant.

Look, Jews are a distinct, proud, brave and accomplished people wherever they and whatever they do. Be proud to be one. I would. Like all people, however, they can't but help to absorb some of the characteristics oaf the people with whom they live and in some cases, as with Chinese Jews, they did this so completely they were assimilated and disappeared. Only among their descendants the tradition of not eating pork continued to linger. Even in the US, Jews made adaptions that some later disliked. The old synagogs in Philadelphia, for example, look for all the world like protestant churches. The 20th Century synagogs are quite distinct, however. Beth Sholom in Elkins Park, for example, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Other synagogs are quite distinctive and beautiful, eschewing the protestant look favored in the 19th Century.

Which won't exist any more since "Playboy" has ended the nude pictures.
