Challis "Interreligious Dating and Marriage" was the topic of a discussion held on the Brown University campus on February I I, and mediated by the university chaplins, Rabbi Alan Flam and Father Howard O'Shea, O.F.M. The positions on this subject, as stated by the two chaplins at the beginning of the discussion, were very different. Rabbi Flam stated that a rabbi's function is to pass on the tradition of Judaism, and there is a tradition in the Torah that Jews and non-Jews do not marry. If such a couple comes to him asking to be married, his own private policy is to refuse their request. But as to interdating, he did not object, describing the university environment as "open and free," and he said that a person's friends and acquaintances would not all be Jewish. Father O'Shea remarked that intermarriage is possible and is often done. If a mixed couple comes to him, he sits down with them, and gets to know them. "After all," he said, "this is how 1 look at this question of religion: it's one tradition with two branches." Rabbi Flam said that it is important fo r the Jews to maintain a sense of identity as a people. "The Old Testament. describes the cohesion of the J ews," he said, "their customs, beliefs, and symbols which set them apart." " Different faiths should not be an obstacle · to love," replied Father O'Shea. "God's commandment is 'Love one another,' so don't let this difference get in the way." Rabbi Flam elaborated upon his reasons for not marrying couples of different faiths. "I wouldn't want to marry two nonreligious Jews, either," he said. "A religious ceremony is for a couple who intend to live with religion as an integral part of their lives." "T he ceremony isn't so relative," objected a member of the audience. "After all, it's less that one hour out of a couple's lives." "The ceremony represents tradition in life,'' replied Rabbi Flam. "And the rabbi represents the tradition that the couple want to live in." A couple with different faiths could be married in a ceremony with no religion in it. "Nobody should go out and get a rabbi just to satisfy his relatives," Rabbi Flam said. Father O'Shea mentioned that problems for a Catholic-Jewish couple were more likely to come from the Jewish grandparents than from the parents of either the prospective bride or groom. This, he and the rabbi agreed, was due to the stronger ties to J ewish tradition often felt by Jews of that generation, many of whom came to this country as immigrants. Another potential source of trouble is the holidays, be they ,Jewish or Christian. " Holidays cause more problems for these relationships," said Fat her O'Shea. " Holidays aren't practiced in an abstract way. This can cause a relationship that seems quite stable to founder." When asked about the children . of mixed marriages where one partner is Catholic, Father O'Shea replied that the accepted viewpoint is "Bring them up Catholic. This can cause trouble in a couple," he said. Deciding what faith to rear children in, if any, can ll be a difficult decision for a couple. ~ "But I do know of one fine marriage," said Fat her O'Shea, d "where the children were brought r. up ,Jewish with no problem." On a the question of bringing up ~s children. Rabbi Flam preferred to see one person converting to thE ' S faith of the other.

Soon may there be heard in the cities ofJudah and in the streets ofJerusalem, the voice of joy and gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the jubilant voice of bridegrooms from their canopy, and of youths from their feast of song. Blessed be thou, 0 Lord, who ma~es the bridegroom to rejoice with _the bride.''
