He’s an ultra-Orthodox rabbi, she’s a secular Jew. They share a goal

Neta first became aware of Israeli assimilation distress in her psychotherapy clinic. “I received the following phone call: ‘Don’t ask what just happened. We have to come in and talk.’ The frightened couple came in and had great difficulty believing that their son had brought home a non-Jewish girlfriend. As for the son? He did not have the slightest idea that this was even a problem. He did not want to cause his parents pain but he had no idea that this was important to them. He said, ‘Mom and Dad, you sent me to a public elementary school and, one day a week, to a Jewish Sunday school. Today I’m 25. What did you expect?’”

  1. Rav Meir Kahane, z"l, used to say that if the only reason you give you child not to date a non-Jew is because they're not Jewish, you're a racist.
