The Nuremberg Laws defined a Jew as someone who either attended synagogue weekly, celebrated Jewish holy days, had Jewish ancestors, or had traveled to Palestine.

The Nuremberg Laws, enacted by the Nazi regime in Germany in 1935, identified a Jew not based on religious practices such as attending synagogue or celebrating Jewish holy days but rather on ancestry. According to these laws a person was considered Jewish if they had three or four Jewish grandparents. It didn't matter if the person identified as a Jew or if they practiced the Jewish faith. The laws also did not consider whether a person had traveled to Palestine. The primary criteria were based on the lineage and ancestry of the individual.

Extra: The Nuremberg Laws were a set of antisemitic laws that played a crucial role in the discrimination and persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany. There were two main laws: the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and Honor. The Reich Citizenship Law stripped Jews of their German citizenship relegating them to "subjects" of the state. The Law for the Protection of German Blood and Honor outlawed marriages and extramarital sexual relations between Jews and non-Jewish Germans as well as the employment of non Jewish women under the age of 45 in Jewish households. These laws laid the groundwork for the systemic and state sponsored oppression of Jews which culminated in the Holocaust the mass murder of six million Jews during World War II. The Nuremberg Laws are a stark reminder of the dangers of racism and the importance of protecting human rights for all.
