That entire theory is based on an emancipation act for someone who had one of the most common first names of the era? And that this person might or might not have come from an area with a Jewish population higher than in other areas? I'm not saying he has a book to sell, but... Hell, I'm saying it.
Also,that might be an unpopular point of view, but unless he was raised in the Jewish culture, he wasn't Jewish even if the claim was somehow true. Perhaps ethnically half-Jewish.
- m-zuber 4y agoAccording to Jewish law, if his mother was Jewish, then so was he. The concept of a "half-jew" is modern invention, and not accepted by orthodox Jews
- lores 4y agoI know, I'm not talking about half-jews at all; if I make up a religion stating lizard aliens identify their descendants with the name Leonardo, does that make him a lizard alien? According to me, yes, but that doesn't change at all who he was.
