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.

mule. When a male donkey is bred to a female horse, it is a mule. However, if the dad was a horse rather than a donkey, and the mother was a jenney(female donkey) instead of a mare (making the mother the father and the father the mother) you would get a Hinny. But since it was a donkey with a mare, it was just a plain old Mule.

This translates as "Repetition is the mother of studies."
