ONCE A JEW, ALWAYS A JEW

[47b bottom] Gemarah: Once a man has a proper circumcision and a Mikvah immersion, he is fully a Jew in all respects [even if he reverts to his former ways and then marries a Jewish woman, we call him an “apostate Jew” and not a gentile and his marriage is still valid].

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: No matter what a Jew does, he is always considered a Jew. As Jewish people, even though we may sin, we are always considered Hashem’s children. Therefore, we must never give up and continue doing good, as we are always Jews.
