Was King Herod Jewish?

[lawrencetan]

A jewish friend of mine once told me that it became matrilineal cos the Jewish nation suffered anti-Semitic wars that sacrificed the males and often the men would be executed in a foreign land while women mostly would not be harmed so it made ‘sense’ for women to bear the continuity of the race and nation.

My Rabbi says that it changed because we're 100 percent sure who your mom is but not your dad 😅

No intelligent person ever said “ Congratulations you’re having a baby! Who’s the mother?”

Another thing is that; the Tanach mentions that the Messiah will be from the descendant of King David, through Jesse, from the tribe of Judah. With no mention of his mum’s origin.

I have heard it explained that your name comes from your father and your spirit comes from your mother.
A mother carries her child for 9 month and the body and spirit of the child is formed within its mother.

The reason as u said is, u always know who the mother is

[theheilious]

I never understood why that was until just now but that makes perfect sense.

Herods father was a convert to Judaism and it doesnt say whether his mother converted so I assume she did not. That being the case, Herod was not Jewish.

Herods Slaughtered 20.000 babies what a monster

He killed one of his wives, Mariamne, and three of his sons: Alexander, Aristobulus, and Antipater.

Think of the body count just within his own family: Four people. A wife and three sons!

What kind of monster does that to his own family members?

BUT NO MATTER WHAT!!! EVERY JEW STILL CARRIES HIS FATHER'S NAME!!! NOT HIS MOTHER'S NAME!!!

Im a conservative jew but my grandfather used to go to an orthodox temple (had a falling out with my temple lol) but he had to leave the orthodox temple because they told him i wasnt considered a real jew which was disheartening

Herod the GREAT
Greek by education
Roman by politics
Edomite by origin
Arab via mother (Nabatean)
The Jewish King, Jew by conversion of father & paternal grandfather

It should be law to have mandatory paternity testing at birth, or the earliest point at which paternity needs to be established. No more paternity fraud. Making it mandatory means that women don't need to take it personally.

Plus mandatory maternity testing at birth in the case of IVF.

There is a theory that says that the matrilinear system really took root at the time of Herod, precisely because everyone hated him. This cannot be the only reason of course, but it's a plausible one.
