Just as with anything else, some Jews will (and have) married black people, and some do not.

Another answer:

Black Jews marry all the time. The real question is whether a Jew will marry a non-Jew. The answer is: Not unless he's willing to disappoint his mother, and the rest of his community.

Intermarriage is gradually causing the disappearance of broad segments of the Jewish people.
In addition to the Torah's prohibition against intermarriage, there are very many cases in which the spouses use the religious difference as fuel to add to the flames once they're already fighting over other matters. Maintaining a marriage is hard enough without the interfering factor of different religious backgrounds.
Also, there is the question of how to raise the children. A seemingly kumbaya-type peace-loving interfaith education very often turns out to be confusing to the children, who now have no complete identity. Statistics show that mixed-marriage children are less likely to practice any religion at all, than are their single-faith peers (even those of minimally-religious homes).
In actual practice, intermarriage amounts to assimilation, the product of which is descendants who may no longer see themselves as part of the religious heritage of either parent.

There is no law in Judaism which forbids "white" Jews and "Black" Jews from marrying. Moses was married to a black woman. She was a Kushite from what is today known as Ethiopia (Numbers 12: 1-15). The Torah describes Moses' sister, Miriam, as critical over her brother's marriage to this black woman. In response to Miriam's criticism, G-d does not get angry at Moses; he gets angry at Miriam. "Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Kushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Kushite woman." Then G-d strikes Miriam with leprosy. Why? Consider this possibility. In G-d's anger at Miriam, Moses' sister, G-d says in effect, "You like being light-skinned Miriam? I'll make you light-skinned." So we read, "When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, like snow" (Num. 12:10). In conclusion, if racism is not tolerated by G-d, then it should not be tolerated by anyone.

Shalom

If you are a Muslim can you marry a Jewish girl?

Answer AYes, if you are a Muslim man you are allowed, per Islam religion, to marry a girl or woman who is Muslim, Christian, or a Jewish. Answer BIf they are really religious persons, then it doesn't matter, because a Jew cannot marry a non-Jew person...Hint on Answer B:There are lots of examples of Jewish women married liciltly to MulimsReplyYes, but then people have to ask more specific questions. What does "a Jewish women" mean? It could mean her nationality OR her religion.If she's a Jew, but she is not religious - then she can marry whoever she want to. But if her religion is Judaism, then there's no way to marry a non-Jew and stick to Law, God's will at the same time.Also, usually people think about religon, when their talking about Jewish people, that's why I answer the way I did.

Can a Black African marry a Christian Jew?

A Black African can marry a Christian or a Jew. It is difficult for anyone to marry a Christian Jew since there is no such person. A person is either a Christian or a Jew, not both at the same time. They are two separate religions. They have been separated for about 2000 years.Another view:Yes they can marry under certain circumstances. It is possible to be a Messianic Jew which is essentially a Jewish Christian. They would be Jewish and then ask Christ to come into their heart and life and be their personal savior. They would see Christ as the fulfillment of Judaism and not feel compelled to abandon their Jewish traditions. Anyway, the African would likely have to be of at least one of those faiths to marry.Answer:The view of normative Judaism, and most Christians, is that a person is either Christian or Jewish. One who accepts Jesus as savior is fully Christian, whether or not he/she keeps Jewish precepts.To answer the Question: A Black African may marry a Jew or a Christian. Color and geography are irrelevant. If the Black African is not Jewish, traditional Judaism states that he/she should marry within his own faith. He could convert to Judaism for marriage purposes, but this is allowed only after the fact and only if he/she actually intends to live as a Jew.If a Black African wishes to marry a Christian and is not a Christian himself, most Christians would expect him to become Christian before the marriage.
