Apostasy in Judaism

Apostasy in Judaism

Apostasy in Judaism is the rejection of Judaism and possible conversion to another religion by a Jew. The term apostasy is derived from Ancient Greek: ἀποστάτης, meaning 'rebellious'. Equivalent expressions for apostate in Hebrew that are used by rabbinical scholars include mumar, poshea Yisrael, and kofer (כופר). Similar terms are meshumad, and min (מין) or epikoros (אפיקורוס), which denote heresy and the negation of God and Judaism, implying atheism.
