I was inspired to write Mixed MarriageInterreligious, Interracial, Interethnic through my study of the Torah and its Mitzvot that prohibit certain mixed marriages while our greatest prophet (Moshe) and King David married outside the tribe. Moshe was Judaisms greatest prophet and led his people out from Egyptian slavery. King David was Judaisms greatest King and the great-grandson from the mixed marriage of Ruth, the Moabitess and Boaz. The Messiah is prophesied to descend from King David as did Jeshua of Nazareththe Christian Messiah.
