Reply To: Shidduchim for Jews of color

Joseph, I don’t think having a skin color preference is inherently wrong, but clearly something is the matter when this lovely lady who converted about 6 months ago after spending time in sem seems to be overlooked when others who share her status as a geir do not experience as much difficulty.

Meno, I hear what you are saying but for many geirim the process takes a lot longer than 1/2 years in yeshiva/seminary, requires a lot more work and I would think that to successfully complete the geirus process, they’ve had to do a lot of figuring themselves out and soul searching. If their rabbeim say they are ready to date, who are we to dictate to them?

The Wolf, thank you for answering.
