    Since I view Jews as strictly members of a religion, I don't bother with the genetic stuff at all.  But the genetics are the most important thing, a Jew is still a Jew no matter what religion they claim to be a part of, the Jews that are our biggest concern are actually secular. I've read the majority of younger Israelis these days are secular, and yet they are still considered Jewish, right? Jewish is an ethnicity, you know that, several different ethnicities actually, Ashkenazi, Sephardi, etc...For instance, US Treasury Secretary, Henry PAULSON, he claims to be a Christian Scientist:rolleyes:, but he's still an ethnic Jew, he is still from a biologically and culturally Ashkenazi Jewish family, his mother was an ethnic Ashkenazi Jew, his father was still a rich Ashkenazi jeweler from Palm Beach:)     http://oddballers-ink.com/images/Star%20of%20David.png   =   http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/20...ckle_clean.png :D
