In-breeding is biologically NOT very healthy.
So from this perspective it is refrehing to have new genes and DNA in the Jewish nation.
Secondly G-D promised to make Abrahamīs descendants as numerous as "the stars in the sky" and G-D hardly meant Abrahamīs "blood-line", but referred to all those He, G-D of Israel Himself will invite to Judasm, those in whose hearts He will put LOVE for His Word, we study in the Scriptures. Thirdly I have been moved many times in my heart by the dedication and respect of the non-Jewish spouses of my friends, who actually are MORE Jewish and the KEEPERS of the Jewish values and traditions in the family. Fourthly: life is in constant movement; old goes out and new comes in. We should NOT stand on the way of this natural flow of life, but humbly accept it. Personally I see it as G-Dīs "interference". A renewed and stronger Jewish nation will emerge as a consequence.
