DATING OUTSIDE YOUR FAITH
Thanks to H for really getting the ball rolling on this discussion.
Have you ever dated anyone of a different faith? Is dating intrafaith important to you and/or your family? Why have you chosen to date people from other faiths, or why do you choose not to?
Comment here or Chez Superjux. Up to you.
I have indeed dated the gentiles. And even one Muslim (his mom was cool with the fact that we kept kosher in my house b/c it meant that I understood about halal-but halal was about as religious as his family got, no Sunday school or mosque-school or whatever, just halal meat out of a sense of tradition). My opinion on this is something that is constantly changing…I’ll get back to you.
I married outside of Judaism. We are divorced now but the difference in religion was never an issue. Although I would love to marry Jewish the 2nd time around, my city has a small Jewish population so I decided to date anyone and everyone.
