Reply To: Ball tshuva girl who's father is not jewish

According to halacha,Shmendrick, your post notwithstanding, the child of a Jewish woman is a Jew, poshut. What you quote is not the accepted p’sak. Perhaps the tosfos refers to a Jewish MARRIED woman who has a baby with a non-Jew. Normally such a relationship with a Jewish man would result in mazeirus for the child born from that union. When a NON-married woman has a baby with ANY man, that child is not a mamzer, is (s)he? Or am I mistaken? (I do want to know, I am not being sarcastic).
