The Rambam on The Seed of Yaakov Avinu

This is my reply to the below article:

While myrtlerising has in her title, “…Seed of Avraham”. I believe it should be “Yaakov Avinu” that determines who has authentic Jewish ancestry”

From the seed of Avraham came Eisav and Yishmael. It’s only with Hashem telling Avraham that the descendants of Yaakov will inherit……being those who went down to Mitzrayim and after 230 years their offspring were taken out by Hashem to stand at Sinai. They were called Israelites (after Yisrael). Only being called Yehudim after entering Eretz Yisrael as a Tribe and settling the Land. The Tribal designations and formations were created in the Desert experience.

The Rambam's 5 Points regarding Authentic Yisrael Ancestry

Let's compartmentalize the boldfaced passages regarding Rav Miller's opinion:

• The Revelation at Sinai transformed the Yisrael spiritual DNA to ensure that every descendant of those who stood at Har Sinai would maintain their belief in and adherence to Judaism.

• This belief and adherence to Torah is eternal as stated in the Torah itself (Shemot 19:9 & Devarim 29:28).

• People who left the path of Torah Judaism are not descended from Am Yisrael, which stood at Har Sinai.

• People who doubt the Revelation of Har Sinai are not descended from Am Yisrael, which stood at Har Sinai.

• This phenomenon of Jews leaving the path of Torah and expressing disbelief in the Revelation at Har Sinai is a natural outcome of them not being real Jews anyway.
