“Years ago if a Jew married a non-Jew, the whole family sat shiva, cried their eyes out and refused to speak to him/her again.”
I could wish that marrying a Catholic had a similar effect on my Mormon relatives.
Every baby announcement has to be sent AFTER getting assurances that the kid won’t be listed as a descendent in the archive. And you can’t attend a cub scout graduation without being poked into getting up and converting. “I mean, since you’re in the Temple, anyway….”
“Then they realized and acknowledged the true tragedy of intermarriage.”
Not quite following this. Are you saying something changed, and THEN they realized, or that ‘back then, they realized how bad…’?
“Intermarriage today is a spiritual Holocaust and the way we are losing our people is a tragedy.”
All religions are losing congregations. The more stringent, the faster the hemorrhage. People aren’t particularly keen on dictators controlling their lives.
”They are all descendants of a great 18th century rabbi from Prague yet they have no knowledge of their amazing heritage and some of their children today are sadly, goyim.”
With just a few words changed, you sound JUST LIKE a Baptist bemoaning the number of black people he’s related to. Or how few Pure Whites in the family. Same sentiments, same denial, same expression of grief…
Same solution: Brainwaashing.
