<pre>Does it take care of the problem of how could Haman's descendants <br>>>have learned Torah in Bnai Brak? If they were Amalekites shouldn't <br>>they have been put to death?<br><br>>I don't know. What's the status of an Amalekite who becomes a ger?<br>
<br>Suppose the beit din that does the giyur doesn't know he's an Amalekite.<br>Suppose he himself doesn't know he's an Amalekite.<br><br>Can an individual kill an Amalekite, or is it something that has to<br>
<br>be done either by a beit din or in a time of war? What are the exact<br>parameters? If I see an Amalekite, and somehow it's 100% certain that<br>he's an Amalekite, am I required/allowed to blow his brains out? Do I<br>
<br>have that authority?<br><br>But even aside from all of these questions, we seem to have a situation<br>where every single source we have says Haman is a direct descendent of<br>Agag, king of Amalek. Every one. Modern musings that perhaps he wasn't<br>
<br>don't count as sources, as I see it<br><br>-------<br><br>The halacha is we dont accept geirim from Amalek. rav Tzadok Hacohen milublin zsl<br>addresses this point in passing and concludes that its likely that these children were<br>
<br> the product of an amalekite raping a jewish girl....seems like the simplest answer<br> and therefore probably true</pre>
