Line 1:
'''Jews in apostasy''' are those [[Jew]]s who have abandoned [[Judaism]] and have joined another [[religion]].
The term apostasy is derived from [[Greek language|Greek]] ἀποστάτης, meaning "political rebel", as applied to rebellion against God, its law and the faith of [[Israelites | Israel]] (in [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] מרד)
Other expressions for apostate as used by rabbinical scholars are "momer" (מומר, literally "the one that changes") and "poshea israel" (פושע ישראל, literally, "transgessor of Israel"), or simply "kofer" (כופר, literally "denier").
Line 13:
Several notorious Inquisitors, such as Juan [[Torquemada]], and Don Francisco the archbishop of Coria, were descendants of apostate Jews. Other apostates, that made their mark in history by attempting the conversion of other Jews in the [[1300s]], include [[Juan de Valladolid]] and [[Astruc Remoch]].
