– Q. See questions above. How about if one of the new couple is religious and keeps Shabbath etc. while the other does not?

A. As mentioned in last question above, situations are mostly different and usually there are many different and even contrasting factors and changing conditions involved which make difficult a truly correct answer.

Yet, every effort should be made by a relative and close friend to the couple to guide them correctly. Contacting them with the right expert people who deal with kiruv may be the most correct option.

The above is a true real obligation of the one that has that possibility.

We must mention that usually being and staying friendly and helpful is a decisive factor in these important cases of Kiruv which could involve many future generations. Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by, Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller, Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a
