Technically, if a prostitute gets pregnant from a client and has a baby if that prostitute is a Jew that...?
...child is forever considered a Jew?
So if the child is placed up for adoption and is adopted by a Christian family or even an atheist family, that child will always be a Jew?
I thought that if your mother is Jewish, than automatically you too are a Jew. Or is it the father.

Because I don't think Christian say if your mother is a Christian that makes you are Christian. Christianity isn't a ethnicity and a religion.
"Trying to link the question to prostitution is just an insulting little twist and one you should have done without as it makes your question sound anti-semitic"
You think so. Is it anti-semitic because of the religion or because of the race. How do you seperate the two, if it is true that if your mother is a Jew that makes you a Jew. Why should it make any difference if the mother was the worst person in the world. You can't claim that a person born to a Jewish woman is not a REAL Jew unless she is Mary Poppins.

Its a bit more complicated than that. yes- the child COULD be Jewish, but only if it renounced all other religions. One cannot be practising another religion and Jewish at the same time. However, achild in that scenario is considered to be a "captured baby"- the scenario is like this: a child is captured in war and brought up by non-Jews. The ruling is that such a child is NOT guilty of infringing Jewish law as they were never taught Jewish law and are completely ignorant. However, before they can be considered Jewish, they have to renounce all other religions and accept Judaism exclusively.
This scenario applies naytime a child form a Jewish mother is brought up by non-Jews. Trying to link the question to prostitution is just an insulting little twist and one you should have done without as it makes your question sound anti-semitic. if that was your intent- hey, you succeeded!
edit: there is NO such thing as a "Jewish race". Thjere are Jews from every racial group on the planet (ok, mayne there aren't any Eskimo Jews. LOL) Right formt he start of Judaism there have been converts. It is gross ignorance to claim there is a Jewish race- which is actyually a modern idea started by the Nazis, and one which never existed before them!

Religion can also be converted later in life. By the way, why did u pick a Jewish prostitute, their are only 15 million jews, and 2 billion christians, more likely it will be a christian prostitute.
