crisisoftheweek: The Khzar theory is an anti-semitic hoax.
There is nothing Obama, the US or Europe can do against Russia other than rattle about economic sanctions and visa bans. Declaring nuclear war against Russia by marching into Crimea, Ukraine is not realistic.
And no other country in the world will take Israel’s side. Certainly not Russia, but why would you want them anyways? They’re the first to stab you in the back, as you now see with Russia violating their signed treaties.
Whose minhagim prevail after an Ashkenaz/Sefardic marriage? Will the wife change her Hebrew pronunciation to that of her husband? Will the wife wear only a tichel and never a sheitel if her husband follows Rav Ovadia’a prohibition on wearing sheitels?
DaasYochid: And just as you said Litvaks and Chasidim are hashkafically and culturally different, so are Litvaks and Sefardim.
Natfush: Would your society or clan consider a shidduch with a Skvere Chosid? Would you have considered marrying a Klausenberger girl? Could you easily see your sister or daughter marrying a Teimani or someone from Bobov?
CR10: Should Chasidish shadchanim in Boro Park also find shidduchim for Litvaks in Flatbush? Should Shadchanim that do shidduchim for Syrian Jews also consider Williamsburg Chasidim? Why are you only complaining about Lakewood shadchanim not focusing on Sephardic shidduchim?
DaasYochid: Why would you assume the differences are lessened in each generation to the point that future generations would be able to intermarry with ease? The religious minhagim will still play a large role. Would an Ashkenazic wife want to assume very different minhagim? (Or vice versa.)
Chasidim and Litvaks have been living together for hundreds of years including in America and Israel mixed together for many many decades. Do you hear of Belzer Chasidim marrying Masores Bais Yaakov girls or Lakewood bochorim marrying Vizhnintzer girls?
Of course there are some such (and some Ashkenaz/Sephardic) marriages. But it has never become the norm.
