This stuff doesn't have to make sense. Why are those born from Jewish mothers considered Jews by the Orthodox, but not those born from Jewish dads?

It's just "the rules".

Someone feels left out.

Not an Orthodox one anyway. Not that this was ever likely.  :lol:

Fiendishly clever!  :menace:

Only problem is, there is no wringer I could put my in-laws through that my sister in law's husband hasn't already topped, with his drunken drugged thuggery.  :(

I bet it warms the hearts of our resident Languish Jews that all our gentile politicians are wishing you all a Happy Passover :)

Yes!

And we had a seder plate with the egg, bitter herb, and lamb-bone on it, dipped our veggies in salt water twice, hid the piece of mazoh, and set out the glass of wine for the Prophet Elijah to drink.  ;)
