[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thing that is somewhat irksome (but not totally) is the assumption that because the law partner is Jewish and the woman in question is Jewish they should be set up.  That's such a flimsy basis for matchmaking.[/quote]

Really? Every Jewish friend I have had told me on a weekly basis how they needed to marry someone Jewish. I dated a Jewish guy for four years and he and his parents told me on a weekly basis how we could only get married if I would convert. I did not.[/quote]

Well, your Jewish friends are atypical because a very large percentage of us do marry outside the faith.

No.  You marry outside the tribe, but you've long since lost the faith.  [/quote]
NP. I'm a Jewish woman who still has "the faith" (I'm assimilated but fairly observant in the Reform tradition) who married a non-Jew. He's very respectful and participates in our traditions, even though he didn't become Jewish and has no intention to. We're raising our son Jewish.

Fwiw, my parents never stressed the importance of marrying a Jew. It's all good. [/quote]
