th also agree to this principle.
    (I believe that their view was that such a Jew was therefore not part
    of the covenant, and HAD TO UNDERGO A RITUAL BRIT MILAH (the shedding
    of blood from the foreskin, etc.).  Since the Lubavitchers are part of
    the Theocratic Politicos calling for a ritual immersion for the 
    Ethiopians, my charge of hypocrisy still stands.

2.  Again, it was my understanding that a Jew born of a Jewess not
    following Taharat Mishpachah was a mamzer.  Can someone give me
    sources for this?  I remember reading it in a yeshiva class; also
    Martillo mentioned it once on the net.  (My talmud is in Jerusalem).

Thanks in advance to anybody who can help.
