My hubby’s cousin is a Hasidim. He had an arranged marriage to a woman who, I am pretty certain, became Orthodox Jewish as an adult(Although she is of Jewish descent.) His wife is from Russia. So, I would imagine that there is mixed racial ancestry there.
Interesting. I’d never heard this before. I agree with most every post I’ve read so far in this thread-- he probably looked like your average Jew, all of whom look pretty white to me. But in the end, does it really matter? I am not in the least upset when I see a black Christ or an Asian-looking Christ. Although they would be historically inaccurate, who cares? His looks and color were simply not important. What does bother me is when someone insists (as I heard years ago on the radio) that he WAS such and such a color and that it is for some reason important that the whole world agree to that.
