- Ordinarily this idea is fine, but unfortunatly it is difficult to apply
- to Judeasim. I'm an ElligibleSingleJewishMan (Sorry, that wacky BIG D thing)
- who has never actually met an ElligibleSingleJewishWoman I was really
- interested in. I've dated plenty of non-jews, and had lots of fights
- with other Jewish people on the merrits/problems with marrying inside/outside
- the clan, and I don't think people outside the religion realize just how
- big a problem this is.
-
- Anyone who would like to discuss this could drop me some e-mail, and I'll
- tell you my theories, or perhaps soc.culture.jewish...?
-
- Anyhow, the biggest fight I ever had with my Jewish mother was over the
- religion of whom I should marry (It's ok to date non-jews, but when you
- get married she should be Jewish), even though she married a Christian.
- (And that's another story)

- Ah, yes, another voice from the melting pot.

- One person's poision, another's cure. I tried warming up to an isreali
- woman once (In Isreal) and I've still got scars from the frostbyte.
- When Incountry I recomend sitting next to Spanish women on the bus :)
- (Ah, Maria...)

-
- What he said. Sometimes people want to stay within the "clan". As long
- as they don't use that as a criterion not to chose someone wonderful from
- outside, then why not?
-
- Oh, Shelly, feel free to drop me a line ;) I even *look* Jewish...
