Israel Moves to Tighten its Racial Purity Laws
New Observer, “Israel Moves to Tighten its Racial Purity Laws” 23 June 2017:
Israel has moved to tighten its racial purity laws with the main Rabbinical authority in charge of training rabbis upholding its ban on performing marriage ceremonies between Jews and Goyim—while at the same time, the Israeli government has announced a new law which will squash all legal challenges to its biologically-based Jews-only racial immigration requirements.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has reported that the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS), which trains rabbis for the Conservative movement, said it is committed to keeping its ban on clergy from performing “interfaith” wedding ceremonies.
The JTS said that a marriage in Israel “is not only a celebration of a couple, but a commitment to the Jewish covenant” and that therefore marriages between Jews and non-Jews would remain illegal.
Currently, it is illegal under Jewish law for Jews to marry non-Jews in Israel, but recently some liberal Jews have tried to get this changed.
