The Jewish outlook., 1908-07-10

In 1906, when the great Synhedrin
of one hundred and ten Jewish
'notables" were convoked by Napo-
leon |. to consider Jewish questions
of vital Importance. the subject OF
intermarriage was given a place of
prominence and distinction on the pro-
gram. Yet at that time the problem
had in no way assumed the magnitude
and latitude that it bears today. For.
up to very recent times. there could
he no intermarriages to any large eX-
tent. The ancient and medieval
countries were churches as well as
states and could not allow those to be
citizens who could not be of the State
religion. The isolation into which the
Jews were thus east led in the course
of time to a feeling of combined con-
tempt and terror about them among
the populace. The folklore of Europe
regards the Jews as something infra-
human. and it would have required an
almost impossible amount of tolera
ton on the part of Christian of the
middle ages to regard union with Il
Jew or Jewess as anything other
than unnatural. The ancients already
had something of this feeling and this
was intensified when, the Christian
church roscs into ,;.eAvec -,,ega rding. as
it did. the Jew as the arch hereto, the

e" What. then. we ask. is the attitude

In attempting to answer the ques-
tion it will be necessary to consider
it with reference to Biblical and post
Biblical laws and traditions. to treat
of it from the standpoint of modern
times and in the light of history and
experience. Unfortunately. as regards
the Bible. while it's laws concerning
intermarriage are perfectly plain. the
Interpretation and application of
these to present conditions are not.
The Mosaic code (2) prohibits inter
marriage only with the "seven ma
TONS of Canaan. as such an alliance
would have led to idolatry with ali
its immoral results. From this fact il
is argued that since. according to the
Talmud. the modern nations are not
to be considered as idolaters. there

objection to intermarriage. Further

high priest (6). Besides, eases of in
termarriage, the argument is ad-
vanced, are so frequent, Joseph to an
Egyptian CD Moses to Midianite:
(S) Elimelech's s son to MOabites; (9)
Samson to a Philistine; (1O) David to
Macca, daughter of King of Gessur;
1D Solomon to daughter of
Pharaoh: 12) Bath-Sheba to Uric the
Hithite': (13) the mother of King
Hiram to a Syrian: (14) Ahab to IZe-
bel. a Sydonian princess (15) and
many others. including leaders, teach
crs and warriors (16)-the eases are
so frequent that the Bible must have
tolerated intermarriage. Nor is the
explicit permission to intermarry in
time of war (17) overlooked in this
connection.
Yet, Notwithstanding. all these
facts. those who advocate intermar-
riage ON the Biblical basis seem to
miss the point. The spirit of the

rorah (ls). Nebiim '(19) and Keith
ubim (20). are antagonistic to it. If
originally the prohibition applied to
priests only it was in Ezra s time ex-
tended to include the entire people
CID and though it was originally for
hidden to intermarry only with the
''seven nations.' it was later pro-
tested against intermarriages with
any nation (22). While many eases
of intermarriage are recorded in the
Bible. and many more perhaps took
place that are not recorded. yet it is
clearly shown in what way these were
regarded Esau's marriage to a
"strange woman" caused his father
and mother grief (23). When Sam
son announces his intended marriage
he is severely censured by his parents
(24). Moses is taken to task for
marrying a Midionitish woman. and
when taking up the leadership Of
Israel he has to separate from Zip
porah (25.) After the sad experience
of the Benjamites and the disfavor
into which they had fallen. they
rather resort to violence and risk of
life than to intermarry (25). Besides.
all Jewish commentators are agreed
that in all instances of intermarriage
(27) including the case of prisoner
in war (2S). the nOn-Jewish party
had to embrace Judaism.
Moreover. to attempt justification
of intermarriage on the ground that
the Bible prohibits it only with refer
ence to idolatrous nations appears alb
surd We must not forget that at the
time the Bible was written down
Israel was the only monotheistic peo-
pie Hence. the laws forbidding inter-
marriage included only the nations in
