I am an a Ashkenazi Jew.

According to Halakha (Jewish law and traditions), only a child born by a Jewish mother is counted as Jewish.

In modern Saudi Arabia, a Jew may not enter the country at all except under extraordinary circumstances.

"Ethnic Jew" (also known as an "assimilated Jew," see cultural assimilation) is a term generally used to describe a person of Jewish parentage and background who does not actively practice the Judaism but still identifies with Judaism and/or other Jews culturally and fraternally. The term "ethnic Jew" does not specifically exclude practicing Jews, but they are usually simply referred to as "Jews" without the qualifying adjective "ethnic". See: Ethnic group
