(Preferably a doctor, lawyer, or dentist, of course.)Ostensibly, my choice to not exclusively date Jewish women can seem baffling.
If you want to be Jewish, go and convert, and then you should date and marry a Jewish girl.
But if you're happy as a Christian, go and find yourself a Christian girl who has those traits that you desire, but that you associate with Jewish women. They may be Christian girls who are Jewish by birth, but who were either never exposed to Judaism or else rejected it.
--Worried Dear Worried, Firstly, forgive me for my strong opinions on this subject. Simply stated, there is no easy way to introduce your mother to your non-Jewish girlfriend, because doing so will confirm to your mother her failure in instilling within you a desire to make Jewish choices in life, to build a Jewish home, and to raise Jewish children.
Even for secular Jewish parents, this remains a high priority.
I however have kept her a "secret" from my very Jewish mother, and my girlfriend is now getting on me to tell my mom about her and even let her meet my mother.
What's the easiest way I can go about telling my mother about my girlfriend without giving her a complete heart attack? I hope you have heard of the movie "Mission: Impossible," because you are now starring in Tom Cruise's role.
I need some guidance from the Rabbi regarding a woman whom I have been dating.
She is a G-d fearing woman and I am sure she will convert to Judaism, but it might take years. I need to know if I can speed her conversion or how or to leave her totally.
I know it can sound highly unfair that certain groups demand that the faithful marry within the faith.
But if Jews don't marry other Jews, then there won't be any Jews left.
