Jewish & Christian Intermarriage
[ send me this essay ]
A 12 page research paper that investigates this issue. There has been a dramatic increase in recent decades in interfaith marriages. Historically, Catholicism and Judaism have taken the strictest position against adherents to these faiths marrying outsiders to their beliefs. An examination of the rationales behind each of these positions shows that the reasons why leaders in each faith have traditionally opposed intermarriage are remarkably similar. Furthermore, the current situation in regards to the effects of interfaith marriage on Judaism, as practiced in the US, shows that there is legitimacy to the traditional position, which opposes interfaith marriage. This discussion explores the historical and contemporary data on intermarriage between Jews and Catholics and then speculates on future ramifications of current trends. Bibliography list 25 sources.

Jewish And American Law: Comparison
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. American attitudes toward law were crucially shaped by the American Revolution, Constitutionalism and the transplantation of the English Common Law System to its shores. Jewish law also responded over a much longer time span and in many more places to historical influences. In the process, both systems had to face comparable issues, including 1) reasons to obey the law; 2) law and change; and 3) law and morality. While given the same objectives, they often ended up on opposite ends of the legal spectrum. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
