Are you only a Jew by birth?
Officially speaking not really; Judaism's official stance is that it accepts converts but doesn't seek them. The official rules say, if your mother is Jewish you're automatically Jewish, and if your father is Jewish you do not need to pass any conversion exams or engage in exhaustive study, nevertheless you do need to undergo an official ceremony to be accepted into a religious community. Here is how that works; to convert to Judaism requires exhaustive study of the first five books of Moses, in addition to important sections of the Talmud "every Jew needs to know." Someone whose father is Jewish, they do not have to study that hard but they still need to undergo a formal ceremony, a person born to a Jewish mother does not need to do anything. A convert, needs to both study AND undergo the ceremony.
By Torah law is a child half Jewish when the father is Jewish and the mother is not?
No. He (or she) is not Jewish at all according to the Orthodox definition. Only if the mother is Jewish are the children Jewish. There is no concept of "half Jewish" in Judaism. You're either Jewish or you're not.In Reform Judaism, however, a child born of a Jewish father is considered Jewish. The Conservative movement is considering changing its rules similarly.
Why is it more important to most Jews that your mother is Jewish rather than if your father is Jewish?
According to Jewish law, a person is considered jewish only if he is born to a jewish mother. A jewish father alone does not make one jewish. The underlying rationale is that it is patently clear who the mother is; she is the one giving birth, but it may contentious who the father is.
Is Drake Bell Christian?
Yes. Drake is considered Jewish by Jewish law and self identifies as Jewish. He grew up in a Jewish neighborhood of Toronto with his mother, attended a primarily Jewish high school, and had a Bar Mitzvah (Jewish coming of age ceremony). Though Drake's father is not Jewish, according to Jewish law one is Jewish if their mother was Jewish.
If your mother was Christian and your father was Jewish what religion are you?
From the Jewish perspective, you are not a Jew. However, if you are raised as a Jew, the reform movement would consider you a Jew. Conservative and orthodox groups would require you to undergo conversion.
Why is Jesus a Jew And some people are not?
There are two ways that a person can be Jewish - either by being born to a Jewish mother (or, in some modern communities, to a Jewish father - though this is not strictly in keeping with Jewish law) or by conversion. Jesus was born to Mary, who was Jewish (as was her husband Joseph) and so he was a Jew. Since not everyone has a Jewish mother and not everyone has converted to Judaism, not everybody is Jewish.
Was brahms father part Jewish?
Unless you were an archivist for the Third Reich, there is no such thing as "part Jewish". A person is either is or is not. In Jewish law, if Brahms' father's mother was Jewish, then Brahms' father was Jewish. And if Brahms' father was Jewish but his mother was not, then Brahms himself was not.
Is Judaism's society structure based on a Jewish father?
