[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've watched the first two episodes so far and while it's pretty terrible, I'm probably going to keep watching only because i do like seeing these young people who are interested in marrying within Judaism.  I'm Jewish, and when I was in my teens and 20's (I'm 51 now) my parents made it very very clear that they would not accept me marrying anyone who isn't jewish. I swore I wouldn't put my own kids under that pressure, and I stick to that, but it's nice to see these youngins who want it for themselves.  I also just love seeing all these different versions of Judaism on my tv screen.  I do worry though whether non-Jews who are watching are thinking that these people are idiots, and how this will lead to more stereotyping. [/quote]

You’re ridiculous if you think they “want this for themselves”. They’re just as brainwashed as you are. Signed, another Jew. [/quote]

Different Jewish poster. I’m in my thirties. Marrying Jewish was important to me, not because I’m brainwashed, but because living a Jewish lifestyle and practicing Jewish rituals is important to me. I didn’t want to raise kids in multiple faiths, and it’s easier to have that value in common with your spouse. that seems pretty straightforward. [/quote]

I’m 43 and I wanted to marry a Jewish person. I know, I’m old-ish, but I don’t think that preferring a Jewish spouse has changed much. I know many young people who do, particularly now that antisemitism is only on the rise. It’s been around 50% intermarriage my whole life. People form preferences in partners for many reasons. It’s not up to PP to decide which of them is not reasonable. [/quote]
