List of former Jews

List of former Jews, or more accurately, people of Jewish ethnicity and adherents of Judaism who have converted to another (or no) religion. According to certain concepts of Jewish being (cf. who is a Jew?), a Jew who converts to another (or no) religion is still "a Jew," by family and heritage alone, if not also by culture, and to a certain extent, belief (cf. monotheism).

Undetermined

These individuals have left the Jewish faith for an undetermined ideology.

Polemon II, king of Cilicia converted to marry the Jewish princess Berenice; later relapsed.[1]
