Can Jewish people date outside their religion?

We can - whether we should or not is an entirely different question...! In theory, we are not meant to marry non Jews. This is because we are a tiny minority, something like 0.25 of the world population, and studies show that children of mixed faith marriages tend not to stay connected to their Jewish heritage. So to preserve our religion and customs etc, we are to ideally marry other Jews. That said, the reality is that non Orthodox Jews do marry non Jews and while sometimes the clash of religions can cause real problems, often it works out just fine. Orthodox (very religious) Jews do not date or marry outside of the faith though. http://www.ajewwithaview.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
