Thread Any Jews on this forum? I have a question for you

I have a Jewish relative married into our family of Irish Catholics. Their kids aren't married to Jews either.
 
Why is it that Jewish men only want their daughters to date/marry other Jews? Every Jewish man i have asked online has said they would be disappointed if they were not with Jewish men.
It's tradition, culture, and partly religion. Also, it's interesting because women carry the mitochondrial DNA so it makes sense biologically if you want to keep your ethnicity solid.
 
I dated a Jewish guy once for a couple of years and his parents despised me because I wasn't Jewish and because I had tattoos. I guess some people take offense to tattoos thanks to WWII.
 
I converted my boo to believe in Jesus and Mother Earth....tho he still sees the earth and "spiritual" stuff as being a witchy poo

I think it has more to do with tattoos being against the written law that a Jew follows more than anything with WWII.

The whole, you're not Jewish if your mother isn't Jewish thing.

This also goes with the way the religion works - the religion is passed through the mother, not the dad. It's not just a thing but how it works for them. Probably also why the Jewish family wasn't happy with you - with you being a non-Jew the kids wouldn't be Jewish.
