I've Been Looking Into The Hebrew Roots Movement and Here's What I've Found So Far 00:56:30 – 00:57:33

Q&A: questioner relays that her Hebrew Roots friends claim most people have Jewish ancestry they are unaware of, which is why the law applies to them.

Mike finds this claim suspiciously convenient: it allows Torah-observance for anyone who wants to practice it by claiming hidden Jewish lineage. He says if he were significantly Jewish he would know it, and suggests these people would be observing Torah regardless and are simply looking for justification. He makes a light remark that he'd rather be Jewish than Irish.
