Russian Rabbi Advises Russians Not to Marry Foreigners

Chief Rabbi of Russia Berel Lazar has warned Russians against entering into a marriage with foreigners, according to the Interfax-Religion website.

"You know, even Jews from Georgia, from Caucasus are quite strongly different from European Jews. I don't advise such couples to marry -- there are a lot of cultural distinctions," the Rabbi told the "Izvestia Nedeli" weekly.

He added that there is a huge number of divorces between Russians and foreigners.

According to Rabbi Lazar, men and women are "so strongly different from each other, it is better to search for the second half with similar mentality."
