Absence of Jews having non-Jewish fathers in the Torah

[edit]

In the Torah, there does not exist any case where a Jew (Hebrew or Israelite) has a non-Jewish father. The Torah explicitly identifies children of foreign fathers and Israelite mothers as being half-Israelites, as is mentioned in Leviticus 24:10-16. [1] The man with a non-Jewish father is being contrasted with “Israelites” is clear from the opening verse Leviticus 24:10-16. [2] It identifies one of the men is not “fully” an Israelite but half-Egyptian, in stark constast and opposition with the Israelites, and also emphasizes the half-Israelite as a foreigner (גר). [3][4] This confirms that half-Israelites were not considered Israelites, even if the mother was Jewish. [5][6]

Schneerson Chabad

[edit]

Relevant to add:

some saying 1990, others 1992 – that Leviev visited the then Chabad leader, the late and legendary Lubavitch rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, to ask for a blessing, particularly with regard to doing business in the former Soviet Union, where Leviev saw great opportunities.

According to one version, Leviev was behind another businessman who, it turned out, wanted the same blessing for the same purpose from the rebbe.

But the rebbe urged that man not to go to Russia.

Despite his dismay, Leviev made his request to the rebbe – and, to his delight, received a reply that was the opposite to that given to his predecessor.

Schneerson actually urged him to invest in the former Soviet Union
