In Judaism, is interracial marriage allowed?

Question

I mean, in the Torah or other Jewish holy book, does it say that a jew is allowed to marry someone outside of their fath like a Muslim or a Christian? and do these rules apply for both Jewish men and women?

Answer 1

i'm not Jewish, but i asked this fairly strict Jewish girl at work, and she told me that as long as everyone's converted to Judaism, it's OK.

i mis-interpreted your question, you've got to convert to Judaism to marry a Jewish guy/girl. that's if they're strict.

Answer 2

The Torah prohibits Jews from marrying non-Jews. There are a variety of reasons for this, spiritual and practical. This has nothing to do with race, since there are Jews of many different races, and anyone can convert to Judaism. A Black Jew can marry a White Jew, a Hispanic Jew can marry an Indian Jew, a Persian Jew can marry a German Jew - it's all good.

Answer 3

What you mean by allowed? Whom do you think Adam "married" to? Marrying a muslin by a christian or visa verse is not that bad.

Answer 4

I don't know what it says in the ultra-orthodox writings, but I know it's done all of time.
