(313) 356-2102 % Intermarriage analyzed World Jewry's major family and social problem, that of mixed marriages, is tackled in interest- ing analyses in Jews and Non- Jews: Getting Married, a new Union of American Hebrew Con- gregations publication. Its author is Rabbi Sanford Seltzer, who previously dealt with Jewish- Gentile relationships in the acclaimed volume entitled Fal- ling in Love. This new guide takes into ac- count the many problems relating to intermarriage. Rabbi Seltzer is factual and he does not shield or condemn. He confronts the matter with regard to family involve- ments and his emphasis is on the urgency of constructing a tradi- tionally strong Jewish home influence, always retaining the legacy with dignity. While acknowledging the prob- lem and its effects, Rabbi Seltzer is not pessimistic. He sees some positive results from the inter- faith relationships. The conclusion reached in the new study is interesting, even if the controversial aspects remain. Rabbi Seltzer asserts: "Judaism continues to attract substantial numbers of men and women. A growing minority of these Jews by Choice consists of persons whose initial exposure to Judaism has come from their own investigations and are not a con- sequence of an involvement with a born Jew. "No less significant is the in- tensificatino of programs of out- reach to couples in an interfaith marriage who have chosen to link themselves to the Jewish commu- nity and rear their children as Jews. "The high rate of interfaith marriage involving Jews is rela- tively recent and must therefore be evaluated accordingly. It is far from certain what the next 50 years will bring in the way of Jewish marital patterns. What ever the degree of assimilation into the mainstream of American life, it is clear that Jewish identity and a sense of pride in the Jewish people run deeper than most people imagine. "Predictions of the demie of the American Jewish community be- cause of interfaith marriage are premature and unfounded. Simplistic solutions merely com- plicate an already difficult prob- lem. "Interfaith marriage is hardly a new phenomenon in the history of the Jewish people. References re- garding it are found in the Bible and in the rabbinic literature. Judaism has always met this threat to its survival wisely and courageously. "It is not incidental that Jews have been called the eternal people. Jewish survival has defied logic and confounded reasoned explanations. In 1934, on the eve of the Holocaust, the Jewish philosopher, Martin Buber, deliv- ered an address in the city of Frankfort in Germany. In it he cautioned against arbitrary de- signations of Jews and of Judaism and the application of sociological labels by social scientists and political thinkers. It was, he said, Israel's covenant with God that provided the Jewish people with a `vocation of uniqueness, a com- munity which exercises history and revelation as one phenom- enon, history as revelation and revelation as history.' "Jews and non-Jews: Getting Married" by Rabbi Sanford Seltzer, UAHC. "Generations of Jews, past and present, in joy and in sorrow, in moments of celebration and mo- ments of despair, have reaffirmed that covenant and reconsecrated themselves to that vocation of uniqueness. Jews have always risen above the crises of the mo- ment. There is no doubt that this generation will do the same." Such is the positive Reform Jewish approach to the challeng- ing issue. The increasing rate of intermarriage compels serious concern with the manner in which a Reform rabbi tackles the issue. Therefore, Rabbi Seltzer's new paperback cannot be ignored. —P.S. NEWS 30 Shi'ites jailed following IDF search Tel Aviv (JTA) — The IDF last week carried out a large-scale op- eration on a number of Shi'ite Moslem villages east of Tyre in southern Lebanon, arresting 30 people suspected on having at- tacked Israeli forces. In the course of the operation one man described by the IDF as an "unknown terrorist" was shot and killed, reportedly while at- tempting to escape. The United Nations spokesman at Nakoura said that two other people were also killed, but amended an earlier statement at- tributing their deaths to the IDF. Four other villagers were brought to the UNIFIL headquarters with wounds, the reports said. The IDF troops were met by angry villagers as they carried out their house-to-house search operations which turned up sev- eral arms caches, propaganda of the Amal Shi'ite organization and military-style medical supplies. The IDF spokesman said the searches and arrests were carried out "in the framework of the pol- icy which has been clarified also at the Nakoura talks, whereby the security of Israel's troops in southern Lebanon takes precen- dence over any other considera- tion." Several Shiite villages in the area of Tyre, south Lebanon, were placed under curfew Dec. 12 after two Israeli soldiers were slightly wounded in a small arms attack on their convoy east of Tyre. An- other attack on an IDF truck near Tyre caused no casualties.
