Despite the fact that Beis Hillel considered some children to be mamzerim [halachic bastard] (which Beis Shammai permitted), they did not hesitate to intermarry.

Even though I've come closer to finding my comfortable level of observance, I still have a niggling feeling that I'm not doing it "right" or strict enough when I'm among other observant Jews who hold differently.<br /><br />- IleneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
