In the last issue, in the Economist was an entire article on this subject. "Who is a Jew". It missed the point.
What is the point?
The point is that only those who left with Moses and Aaron in the exodus from Egypt are Jews. They are because, in the nominative, God, a.k.a. Jwh tells them that he has chosen them. And it is with them and with them only that he makes the Divine Covenant - the Divine Absolute Contract, that if they obey and serve him, their numbers will be great and that they will inherit the promised land.
And it is very clear that these that God, a.k.a. Jwh has chosen must keep their blood line pure for all of time to come. They are NOT ALLOWED to marry out; and if they do there are consequences.
And those who have read Leviticus know that, to put it mildly, for infractions against God, a.k.a. Jwh, the consequences to put it mildly, can be quite harsh and serious.
It is for this that recently, certain universities in Israel tried to determine what is this Jewish genome. I regret that they failed to do it.
It is clear that there simply is no logical basis to conclude that by the the rite of converting to Judaism, one then becomes one of chosen ones.
In face on the evidence in Leviticus, there is no rite by which God, a.k.a. Jwh, ever agreed to or provided for such a thing. Everything in fact points to the opposite.
