Speaking of Gentile girls who tempt Jewish boys (), can a child of a "mixed" marriage between a Jew & non-Jew ever be "recognized" as a Jew by Israel? And is Israel ultimately the desired homeland of all Jews?

Thanks!! BTW, I am really loving this thread!

The progeny of a Jewish woman is Jewish, no matter what. A Jewish man who has a child with a non-Jewish woman R"L, the child is not Jewish, and would have to convert to become Jewish.

The State of Israel has no specific holiness attached to it, as it is a completely secular government, who has no bearing in matters of the Torah or Judaism. The LAND of Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people as given by G-d in the Bible (Torah). When Moshiach comes, yes, ALL Jews will return to the Land of Israel.

Glad you really love this thread!! Be well!!
