Posted by Chava <salemeyedoc@hotmail.com> on Tue, 07 Jul 2009, in response to Cortez or Cortes, posted by Yarown Yehuda Yehowchanan Cortez on Wed, 18 Jan 2006
Cortez/Cortes does not mean one is a Jew, or even hadWhat makes one a Jew is having a Jewish mother.
If one can prove they have an unbroken, maternal
Jewish lineage, they are a Jew.
A last name that "may" be Jewish is not sufficient
evidence that one is, indeed a Jew.
