Jewish women

Daughters of Israel

Jewish women are females who are Jewish by birth or conversion.

In traditional Jewish law, Jewish identity passes through the mother, making maternal lineage religiously significant.

The phrase appears in discussions of religious practice, cultural identity, and gender roles within Judaism: Jewish women have historically maintained household religious observances.
