What sins may invalidate a person’s Jewish status? If a person is born to a Jewish mother but decided to reject Jewish religion and instead engages in specific acts that are enumerated in the Torah, are some of those bad enough that the person undoes the Jewish status they’ve had from birth, even without a declaration from a beit din?
To be clear, I’m talking officially, not popular consideration. For example, when someone converts to another religion, especially Christianity, many people no longer CONSIDER the person a Jew, but they can give it all up and come home and practice Judaism again. I’m categorically NOT talking about that and don’t want to engage in that discussion or debate, rather anything else they may do. I know someone who is engaging in practices and identifying with what amounts to capital sins in the Torah where it is spelled out that such a person would have been officially unalived for their crimes against God.
In the absence of such a finding under Jewish sovereignty with Torah law, is this person officially un-Jewish?
