Ask An Interfaith Rabbi

Are Jewish interfaith marriages traditional?
Jewish interfaith marriages are as traditional as a wedding when both partners are Jewish. There were times in Jewish history, such as the time of the Conquest of Canaan, when inter-tribal, interfaith marriages were not only discouraged but outright prohibited. There were other times, such as during the Patriarchal Period and during the Persian Period, when interfaith marriages were permitted, as with Hagar (an Egyptian), Ruth (a Moabitess), Tamar (a Canaanitess), and in Persia between Esther and King Ahasheverosh.
