Marry Jewish

Rabbi Yisroel Labowski was once flying somewhere. It so happened, that next to him was a young woman that mentioned to him that she wasn’t Jewish but was engaged to a Jew. Seeing the hashgacha protis, Rabbi Labkowski started convincing her not go through with such a ‘marriage’. He tried and tried, explaining her how a union between a Jew and non-Jew is detrimental to both. Unfortunately, his words fell on death ears. Seeing how steadfast she was in her commitment to marry this Jewish man he asked her why she was so inclined to marry someone Jewish. She answered him simply “I want to do like my father did – he married Jewish and I want to do the same”
