| Jewish law is the jewish identities sheild...the moment the Jewish identity leaves the domain of law...he ensures that maybe not him, but his children or children`s children will marry out and end the jewish line. Not marrying somebody who isn`t jewish b/c their blood is not Jewish is absurd...the only reason you should marry another Jew is that the other fullfills the laws of the torah as do you (kosherut,shabbat, holidays). This is the only rational explanation you can provide for not assimilating, an argument based on values, but the unobservant Jew has given up his Jewish values and law and therefore has no leg to stand on, or when he transmit`s his jewish identity, it will not be strong enough when a minority surrounded by mass amount of opportunity to give up an identity that has no real significance anyway!!!! |
