Notes

  1. According to Halakha (i.e. Orthodox Jewish law), one can be Jewish by either birth or conversion. Birth means being born to a halakhically Jewish mother, while for a conversion to be valid it has to be carried out according to a recognised Orthodox procedure. Much was made in the judgment of the fact that most Jewish children are Jewish by birth, and hence the Jewish status criterion was said to be ethnically discriminatory.
