| | | | Who is a Jew?: Encyclopedia II - Who is a Jew? - Religious definitions For the most part, a Jewish identity has been seen as a religious question stemming specifically from the Torah and Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) as a whole. As a result, religious authorities, namely scholarly rabbis, have traditionally taken the responsibility of determining the criteria for being a Jew.
Who is a Jew? - Traditional Halakhic perspective.
According to the traditional Rabbinic view, which is maintained by all branches of Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism today, only Halakha ("Jewish law ...

| | | | Who is a Jew?: Encyclopedia II - Yemenite Jews - History of the community Local Yemenite Jewish traditions trace the earliest settlement of Jews in this region back to the time of King Solomon. One legend has it that King Solomon sent Jewish merchant marines to Yemen to prospect for gold and silver with which to adorn the Temple in Jerusalem. Another legend places Jewish craftsmen in the region as requested by Bilqis, the Queen of Saba (Sheba). Interestingly enough, the Beta Israel or Chabashim (Jews in neighboring Ethiopia) have a sister legend of their origins ...

Relationships between Jewish religious movements - Haredi Judaism views.
When dealing with others of their own faith who have different philosophies, Haredi Jews often perceive differences to be generated by heretical intent or a perceived attack on Judaism. They view Reform Judaism, Reconstructionist Judaism and to a large extent Conservative Judaism as heretical non-Jewish movements whose actions are more damaging to the Jewish people than any physical threat. Haredi leaders have accused these movements of atte ...

| | | | Who is a Jew?: Encyclopedia II - Teudat Zehut - Question of nationality There have been some fierce legal battles about listing the nationality in the Israeli Identity card. As of 2005, the nationality is not listed; a line of eight asterisks appears instead. In the past, the nationality of Jewish Israelis was shown as "Jewish", rather than "Israeli". In 2002, the Supreme Court of Israel instructed the Ministry to list people who underwent a Reform conversion as Jews. The Minister at the time, a member of an Orthodox party, decided he would rather drop the nationality listing altogether, rather than list as Jews ...

| | | | Who is a Jew?: Encyclopedia II - Sabbatai Zevi - In Salonica With this document, which he appears to have accepted as an actual revelation, Sabbatai determined to choose Salonica, at that time a center of Kabbalists, as the field for his further operations. Here he boldly proclaimed himself the Messiah, gaining many adherents. In order to impress his Messiahship upon the minds of his enthusiastic friends he put on all sorts of mystical events — e.g., the celebration of his marriage as the “Son of God” (the Ein Sof) with the Torah, preparing for this performance a solemn festival to which ...

| | | | Who is a Jew?: Encyclopedia II - Jacob Frank - Historical background The spread of Frank's messianic movement (1760-1770) occurred in the period following the killing of the Jews in the days of Bohdan Chmielnicki. Hundreds of ruined communities, in which almost every family mourned its martyred dead, awaited aid from Heaven. Some were inclined to see in the Ukraine massacres pre-Messianic sufferings, and in Sabbatai Zevi the promised messiah. Zevi's fall and subsequent conversion to Islam estranged him from most of his followers, but among the more uncultured portion of the Jewish people the belief in the mystic ...

| | | | Who is a Jew?: Encyclopedia II - Jewish population - Historical populations Jewish population centers have shifted tremendously over time, due to the constant streams of Jewish refugees created by expulsions, persecution, and officially sanctioned killing of Jews in various places at various times. The 20th century saw a large shift in Jewish populations, due mostly to persecution in Eastern Europe followed by the Holocaust, migration to the United States and the creation of Israel and subsequent explusions of Sephardic Jews from the Arab world.

| | | | Who is a Jew?: Encyclopedia II - Relationships between Jewish religious movements - Conservative views Conservative Judaism holds that Orthodox Judaism is a valid and legitimate form of normative rabbinic Judaism; its respects the validity of its rabbis. Conservative Judaism holds that both Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism have made major and unjustifiable breaks with historic Judaism, both by their rejection of Jewish law and tradition as normative, and by their unilateral acts in creating a separate definition of Jewishness (i.e. the latter movement's acceptance of patrilineal descent as an additional way of defining Jewishness.)
