The 12 of minute series of videos about our terms for our introduction to Judaism long distance conversion class, this topic is Jewish people who had conversion in modern issues. Everett, this is the one the words that was used to describe Jewish from the Hebrew word for Hebrew, Everett. Jew or Yehuda, so what is the origine of the term in 722 when the Assyrians BCE, when the Assyrians conquer the 10 Northern tribes all that was left was the tribe of Judah is also the remaining Israelites where Yehudin from the tribe of Yehuda and today that is Jew. That is where the name comes from. The issue of matrilineal descent and patrilineal descent.
In the Bible it seems like there a definition of Jew was somebody born with Jewish father or somebody who converted like Ruth around Roman times 2000 years ago its switch to somebody born in a Jewish mother. It was never one or the other, now a days there were reform and reconstructionist have decided that a child born of either a Jewish mother or father if they raised as a Jew is Jewish. But that is not the position of traditional Judaism like conservative in orthodox that maintain the 2000 year old rule of being born of Jewish with a mother or converting to Judaism.

The current laws says that if you are born of a Jewish mother or converted and there was a move some years ago in the 80’ to add the phrase to see how hot according to Jewish law which meant the orthodox would determine who converted properly. That was defeated by two votes in the commands. But, every once in a while it raised again and inferiorated none orthodox Judaism because we felt that they were passing judgment in our Judaism.
