I have a question:
If my grandmothers mother was a jew, am I
then a jew? Can a jew according to the rules eat meat on fridays?
About me:

How I found this site:
It depends on whether this is the grandmother who begat your father
or the one who begat your mother. If it is your maternal grandmother
then yes, you are a Jew.
Yes, a Jew can eat (kosher) meat on a Friday. In fact, barring health-related
limitations or serious emotional aversions to meat, Jews are required
to eat meat at most holiday meals, including the Sabbath (from Friday
at sundown until about an hour after sundown on Saturday).
