Technically NOT Jewish…

Jews started learning Hebrew in 70 AD. It was put-forward by Rabbi leaders as a way for all the Jews to know the rules. At the time, most Jews were illiterate farmers. Knowing Hebrew, isn't really a part of being Jewish, and it never was. It's a pathway to something else.

I believe Evan's mother converted when Evan was a teenager. So Evan's brother Ira David Wood IV is not Jewish, and technically, neither is Evan, but she considered herself to be since she was raised that way. Now she considers herself to be neither Christian (her father's religion) nor Jewish (her mother's religion).

Jesus Christpeople. If she is not a Jew by blood, she is not Jewish. Pure and simple. You can convert all the way you want but you can't trick your blood. No real Jew would call 'converted' person a real Jew. This is something you can't buy. So her faith is Judaism because she choose it. Elizabeth Banks converted to Jewish because her husband is Jewish but it will never make her Jew. Her roots are different.

Well, there is lots of Jews where I live. The real ones, not just descendants. They do accept converted people to have their faith and all but they also say those people will never be 'real' Jews by blood because It's something you have to inherit and frankly It couldn't be more obvious to me. If I was Italian blood(for example) for a generations and one day decided convert to Jewish, you really think I could be Jewish as Jews are2000? No. It will never be real.

Being Jewish, I can tell you, Evan Rachel Wood is considered Jewish. Whoever posted the Jewish community would not accepted her as truly being Jewish is completely false. Judaism does not have missionaries or seek to convert non Jews. When someone converts, it is of their own choosing. A Rabbi will challenge those wishing to convert three times. A converted Jew is fully accepted.

She doesn't need to convert if her mother has. She was raised Jewish and she identifies as being Jewish. I can only tell you as being a member of a Reform Congregation, she is considered Jewish. I believe she would also with Conservative Congregations. I could not advise on the Orthodox Community.

The only reason I had a problem with Evan saying she's Jewish is I considered it a ruse to help her career. Since as we know it helps to be Jewish. I don't know her, but I get the impression she isn't practicing Judaism. But whatever, people affiliate themselves with Scientology trying to help their careers. People may find it convenient to convert to Judaism in Hollywood too.

Under Reconstruction Judaism, she's considered Jewish.
Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb.
