We’re delighted to welcome Sophie Ambrose as our speaker. Sophie was born and initially raised in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, hardly knowing she was Jewish, much less knowing what being Jewish meant. During a simple Google search she completed while trying to find a way to learn more about Judaism, she found out about birthright Israel, which she then participated in.

3/18/201008:00 PM | Matrilineal vs. Patrilineal Descent: Conservative and Reform PerspectivesDePaul University COL's Center for Jewish Law presents this lecture along with Northshore Congregation Israel and Congregation Beth Shalom. Speakers: Professors David Kraemer (JTS) and Mark Washofsky (HUC). According to the Halacha as interpreted by traditional Jews over many centuries, the offspring of a Jewish mother and a non-Jewish father is recognized as a Jew, whereas the offspring of a non-Jewish mother and a Jewish father is considered a non-Jew. But what happens in our society when intermarriage has become prevalent and the population of Jews is dropping? The Reform Movement thus now recognizes patrilinial descent whereas the Conservative Movement maintains the traditional matrilineal descent view on “who is a Jew.” Location: Contact: |
