Apostasy in Judaism In Judaism, apostasy refers to the rejection of Judaism and possible defection to another religion by a Jew. The term apostasy is derived from Ancient Greek: ἀποστάτης , meaning "rebellious" (Hebrew: מרד‎ ‎ .) Equivalent expressions for apostate in Hebrew that are used by rabbinical scholars include "mumar" (מומר, literally "the one that was changed"), "poshea Yisrael" (פושע ישראל, literally, "transgressor of Israel"), and "kofer" (כופר, literally "denier"). Similar terms are "meshumad" (משומד, lit. "destroyed one"), one who has abandoned his faith, and "min" (מין) or "epikoros" (אפיקורוס), which denote the negation of God and Judaism, implying atheism.
