How do you know if your jewish. How do you find if you are. Are you jewish. Could somebody tell me jewish name
Being Jewish is practicing a particular religion just like Catholic, Baptist or any other religion. Being Israeli is the same as a national origin like British, American or any other. They are two different things. All Israelis are not Jewish although most of them are.





Most people do consider being Jewish and Israeli as the same thing. If you can trace your ancestors back to present day Israel you could consider yourself Jewish since the destinction between Jewish and Israeli is a fairly new concept.
Reply:Ask your mother
Reply:In the Jewish culture if your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish. Is it possible to just ask her? Or do you know what city and state in which she was born? If so, you can go online in that city and find her birth certificate. Some states have religion listed on the certificate.


If you find out you are Jewish, congratulations! It is a magnificent culture rich in history and traditions. Learn about it and I hope you are wise enough to embrace your heritage. Best of luck.
