For Jewish people only! Would you seriously consider getting involved?

Question

with a non-Jewish person? Please no answers like "depends on how religious I am", let's just say you are very religious.

Answer 1

I am older, my children are grown, but I still would not want to be involved with someone who is not Jewish. I want someone to go to Jewish classes and discussion groups with. I want someone to can relate to how I feel about my people and my faith.

I guess I even go one stop farther--------I would prefer a Sephardi or Mizrahi Jew (one from the Mediterranean or the Mid-east). I relate better to them than I do to an Ashkenazi Jew (from Europe).

Answer 2

Not Jewish,thankfully I ascribe to none of the mythologies of religion,but my reading of these things past would say that regardless of whether a Jewish person says they would or would not,that it's supposed to be forbidden. So unless they pick and choose what rules to follow they cannot,that in itself says all I would want to know about a religion,deciding who you are allowed to marry for you,at least they're not alone in this though.

Answer 3

Nope,

I want to raise my kids with the same values I have. I would not be able to to that with a non Jewish spouse

Answer 4

Well if they're very religious & observant, it's doubtful they would ever get so involved with a gentile. And that's that. but the temptation will always be there. It happens.

Answer 5

Of course! If you love someone, it doesn't matter their religion. I'm going out with a protestant girl, and I still go to Synagogue every week. It makes absolutely no difference. We're not living in biblical times people!

Answer 6

Been there; done that.
Won't do it again.
That is one of my two criteria for getting involved with another woman.

Answer 7

My X was not Jewish.I am.

Answer 8

I'd rather be killed.

Answer 9

no.
