		Intermarriage is often considered to be one of the most important signs of assimilation and integration of immigrant-descent groups for several reasons.

		At one time, say in the 1940s, intermarriage was hard to do, for it meant leaving the Jews and joining the gentiles at a time when Jews were one of the disadvantaged minorities in America.
		In this context the rate of intermarriage remained very low through the 1960s, after which it increased sharply, so that by 1985 and continuing into our time, about half of Jews who were marrying wed partners who were not Jewish.

	Can Anything be Done about Intermarriage? - Jewish Media Resources
		In place of opposing intermarriage, American Jewry has opted by-and-large for what is called Jewish "outreach." Jewish outreach seeks to keep intermarried couples somehow within the Jewish fold in the hope that their children will remain part of the Jewish community.
		Kerry Olitzky, another self-styled "intermarriage" expert, told the GA delegates that the most important message for them to keep in mind is that "there is "no right and wrong way to be Jewish." Olitzky would replace the old religion of Law with a contentless dispensation.

	Gene Expression: Jewish Assimilation
		In Reexamining Intermarriage: Trends, Textures, Strategies, the most comprehensive study to date of intermarried couples, sociologist Bruce Phillips found that only 14% of intermarried couples could be classified as "Judaic," in the sense that the balance of religious observance in the home is Jewish.
		Intermarriage can be a way into Judaism as well as a way out and, given that the non-Jewish partner is comfortable enough with Jews to marry one, the odds are fairly good as long as that partner is made to feel at home.
		But at the same time I wouldn't cite the present intermarriage rate of Jews as definite proof that they will fully assimilate given the tenacity of Judaism over thousands of years (despite some level of past intermarriage) and the opposition to intermarriage which is still widespread among many Jews.

		Philip Weiss, the journalist who got this debate going last week with his article in the New York Observer, has also weighed in (click here and scroll to the bottom) with much more sensible objections, and since two of his points were also raised by some of Culturebox's correspondents, here are two answers.
