Reply To: Are Women Really Jewish?

News flash: Being Jewish does not depend on some external mitzvas like tefilin and tzitzit.

As zeeskite rightly pointed out, mitzvos are not external. Maybe that is why you have trouble understanding this.

Being jewish is based on having a jewish neshama by being born to a jewish mother or converting.

What is a Jewish mother? Aren’t all mothers women? I don’t know what you are talking about.

based on the logic of your OP it would seem that baby boys until they are a few years old and capable of doing mitzvos are not jewish either. Why don’t they need geirus?

Because they have a bris.
