7 - Jewish Interfaith Marriage Part 1 - A Brief and Imperfect History
Manage episode 376656385 series 3501606
Confused about why Interfaith Marriage seems to be such a HUGE deal to so many Jews? Let's talk about it.
In Part 1, we'll go through a brief history of the Jewish people's relationship to intermarriage, going all the way back to the Torah. As the title says, it's brief and imperfect, but I think it's important for our understanding as we move through the conversation.
