Pintele Yid, often translated as "Jewish spark", is a Yiddish phrase describing the notion that every Jewish person has an essential core of Jewishness within them, even if they are assimilated or are unaware of their Jewishness.[1] Jewish converts may also be described as having a pintele Yid that led them to Judaism.[2] The term is most commonly used by Ashkenazim and Orthodox Jews.[3]
