Best Answer

According to Jewish law, a person who is born to a Jewish woman or who converts according to Jewish law, is a Jew. If your father is Jewish but your mother is not, Jewish law does not consider you to be a Jew unless you convert. The reform movement accepts children born to a Jewish man and non-Jewish woman as Jews if they are raised as Jews.
