Abstract
The article examines the evolution of romantic love’s role and its social meanings by centering on intermarried Jewish and non-Jewish couples between 1933 and 1959, with a focus on those who immigrated to Israel from Poland in the 1950s. It delves into the dynamics of romantic love and the complications it introduces within a post-traumatic community characterized by diverse nationalities, ethnicities, and religions, which affected both the marital relationship and societal integration. It illuminates the conflict between societal norms and personal emotional autonomy, underscoring romantic love’s paradoxical nature as both a source of support and a challenge.
