do you have to be jewish to marry a jewish man that you really luve and he loves you back?

Question

i love a jewish man and if we want toget married in the futer do i have to be jewish to marry him we really do love eah other

Answer 1

I am not Jewish, but I would suggest you talk to your love. If he is religious, and you are willing to convert, and take the classes, it would be a loving indication of your commitment, so you can get married in the temple.

Answer 2

To have a Jewish ceremony you would need to convert. But that doesn't mean that you cannot marry him! You could get a JP, or if your bf is willing, many christian religions will marry interfaith couples. If you are seriously thinking about marrying him, make sure that you talk to him about your beliefs and what you want for your children. This can be a HUGE issue for interfaith couples. My bf is Catholic and I am Jewish. We are probably getting married by a JP, but we struggled with our different religions for a while! We also each had to think long and hard about what we wanted for our future kids! It all worked out because we were honest and open with each other. Think about this now so you don' t don't have to fight later!

Answer 3

I would have to say no, but I am not Jewish. To the best of my knowledge, it is very important for Jewish men to marry Jewish women as to truly be considered Jewish, it is the mother who must be Jewish in order to carry on the family bloodline. This does not mean you can merely convert and qualify.

It is sad that you have met and fallen in love with a man who must confine his relationships to other Jewish people only. But, on the other hand, it is understandable.

I don't envy you. If it were me, I would be devastated but would have to respect his family and traditions.

Answer 4

Well if he is really into his religion and u want to get married through his religion then u would have to convert. The other option is that u have a modern wedding and don't go through with a Jewish wedding. Whoever is really your friend will respect both of your decisions and be there to celebrate your Big Day. His family members also have to understand that you can't make someone be something that they are not. If you choose to convert let it be solely Your decision, not nobody else's.

Answer 5

No you don't for the typical Jewish person. I'm not sure about the orthodox Jew. They have stricter guidelines. My friend is married to a practicing Jew. she is not but she did agree to raise her children in the Jewish religion. She was married in the traditional Jewish ceremony with the Hupa (sp?) They've been married for 25 years 4 kids.

Answer 6

No, you don't need to be Jewish - but the guy's parents are probably having a fit - and putting your man on a big guilt trip. I don't know if you are a religious person, but would you consider converting for this man? That would make the family a little happier.

Answer 7

Don't guess you have too....
But all the ones I have known to marry a Jewish person has became Jewish??
Not sure how that works tho
☺

Answer 8

If you want to marry in a traditional Jewish ceremony, you will have to convert for the temple to allow your wedding.

Answer 9

an section American of the Peoples in Israel residing on a kibbutz is somewhat far-fetched to commence with. then you definately do not have any information as to which branch of Judaism her father is Rabbi in. So can no longer grant you with info there both. As of on the instantaneous no mixed marriages are happening in Israel. what is going to her ketubah say ?

Answer 10

No! There are a lot of families that recognize two religions. You just have to talk about what is most important to both of you in expressing your separate religions.
