Their mother was Jewish but they haven't been taught the religion, making them technically Jewish but without any knowledge of Judaism.
He’s Jew-ish
So is everybody here a technical Jew? Like, that's three of us, and this isn't a huge community.
I'm Brian, and so is my wife.
Brian is an interesting name for a woman. Then again, my brother Steven married a man named Stephen.
It's from "Life of Brian", and somewhat related to Jewish identity. Here's the referenced scene - recommend the whole movie if you've never seen it.

Good for Steven and Stephen, and wish them every happiness.
I'm reasonably certain I wouldn't count. As far as I know there were no Jews (by ethnicity) in my family for the last couple hundred years.
I do, however, count as a Native American, specifically I'm ¹/16th Lakota.
Ahhhhh this makes more sense, thanks for clarifying!
Bingo 👍👌
