Today I challenge you with a loaded topic - intermarriage.
Last night, the media revealed the secret wedding of television host Lucy Aharish and actor Tzachi Halevi.
The surprising news caught most of us unprepared - I personally was very happy to hear and did not dwell on the fact that the couple was not of the same religious origin,
But there were some who condemned the wedding, since it was mixed marriages or their less-laundered name - assimilation.
For example, Oren Chazan (to remind you of a member of the Israeli government) issued a great uproar and controversy.
This subject is interesting and I am curious to hear what you think, since the question arises whether assimilation is relevant at all nowadays?
In an era when the world has become a global village, where religion is less and less dominant and the spirit more liberal, does it matter?
From the dawn of history we have witnessed stories of intermarriage and every time there is someone who opposes them. We also know quite a few celebrities who have chosen mixed-
Bar Refaeli and Leonardo Di Caprio, Tami Ben Ami and Olssey Perry, George Clooney Married to a Muslim Woman, Nicolas Cage An Asian woman, Linor Abergil was married to Christian basketball player Sharas
And even the British prince, Harry the Redhead himself married a half-black and half-white woman (American!).
The Hanans see every person as a human being. One does not exclude a person according to the color of his skin, religion, race or gender. I tend to agree to this,
I try to imagine what will happen if one of my children falls in love with someone from another religion / race / sex ...? The truth will not bother me.
As much as I try to think about it, I really will not mind. Perhaps I would be sorry that he chose an unacceptable path, since it can create social, bureaucratic,
But if they are happy, loving, connected, doing good to each other, suitable and thriving - why not?
On the other hand, what would happen to our people if there were no religious laws against assimilation?
Is it important to maintain "purity" or are these concepts taken from dark worlds that we no longer want to take part in?
Are organizations like Lehava legitimate, or does everyone have the freedom to choose who they want?
I have attached here an interesting article that I found in one of the religious sites that gives a nice answer to the question - intermarriage - why not?
I tend to remain in my liberal and inclusive position - there is room for everyone, we are all human beings no matter where we were born, what religion we were born in and what our external appearance.
Agree?
post Scriptum. It took me a long time to find in the photo galleries with which I work pictures of a mixed couple. When I wrote the words "couple in love" I got dozens of pictures, but the whites with the whites, the blacks with the blacks and the Asian with the Asian. In short, it is natural for someone of our race to look like us, but there are so many people who have married or fallen in love with other religious or racial partners and that there is hardly any representation. Apparently the revolution is progressing with really small steps.
