Reply #58: If someone wants to continue to claim a Jewish identity then that is certainly their right

However, you seem to be suggesting that they are required to do so.

You are the one who is insisting that one must still be Jewish (and proud) even if a person no longer wishes to be Jewish and no longer wishes to claim any Jewish identity.

If someone who was born Jewish wishes to convert to Christianity or Islam and in doing so wishes to have a Christian or Muslim identity rather than a Jewish one, why would you deny them that?

In my view, it is a very weird position to take to say that if you are born Jewish you are required to have a Jewish identity for your entire life regardless of your own faith or identification.
