Intermarriage will be the death of Judaism if Jewish communities spurn the growing number of interfaith families who want Jewish community.

Intermarriage isn't the problem. Fear and scorn of intermarriage is.

I've said it before: interfaith fams who stick it out are amazing. https://twitter.com/tashakaminsky/status/1353497759324790785
My mom wasn't allowed to join my reform shul when I was a kid. My parents easily could have walked out of REASONABLE disgust. But they didn't.

There are countless families like mine. And more and more rabbis like me. That's miraculous considering what we've faced.
The future of Judaism rests not upon the existence of Jews like me— along with every other marginalized Jewish population— but upon whether or not established Jewish communities come to get that the so-called "fringe" is the center.

We're here. Let us in. Let us lead.
