I received some emails in response to my last posting which made me realize I must provide more context for, and explanation of, my comment about intermarriage. I might not be able to do it today, but stay tuned. I will say now, however, that in no way did I mean to imply that no children of intermarriage have a moral compass or sense of identity or culture. In fact, one of my best friends in New York has one Jewish and one not-Jewish parent, and she's one of the most ethic people I know (which is why she qualifies to be my friend) and has a stronger Jewish identity than most Jews. Obviously I need to provide more context to my original posting in order for it to be properly understood. More to come.
