According to rabbinical Judaism, a Jew is one who has a Jewish mother or one who has formally converted to Judaism. Leviticus 24:10 is often cited to give this belief credibility, although the Torah makes no specific claim in support of this tradition.
Mambo ya Walawi 24:10 mara nyingi inachukuliwa kuupa uaminifu huu imani, ingawa Torati huifanyi madai maalum kwa msaada wa mila hii.
