[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.

They are not atypical. My ex also told me how important it was for their family to always give their business to other Jews. They would only go to Jewish doctors, dentists, colleges with high % of Jews, etc. As a Catholic I was shocked. I would never have picked a dentist because they were Catholic.[/quote]

This has been my experience as well...best friend in college, long term boyfriend (who I never married because of his religion or rather his parents and THEIR thoughts on religion) and yes they are all about "Jews for Jews' they believe in supporting each other in every realm possible. I am sure there are exceptions of course....but ironic that both my best friend in college and ex boyfriend whose families very much practiced that mindset ended up marrying non Jews and in fact same with their siblings, go figure.[/quote]
