Reply To: Clarification to mod and DaMoshe

Arso,
“ I would definitely call her a shikse (probably not to her face so as not to insult her) because she is! Would you let her touch your wine? Would you eat something she cooked? Is she allowed to keep Shabbos? The answer to each of the above, I’m sure you’d agree, is ‘no’. So she does not have a Jewish Neshama at all, and she is still a shikse until after giyur, albeit probably one of the chassidei (chassidos?) umos ha’olam.

And the fact that her father is Jewish makes no difference in halachah.”

I wouldn’t use the term shikse which is a derogatory term for a goy who is sincere on serving Hashem correctly and is even doing the work necessary to convert to Yiddishkeit. That’s what I meant
