Chossid:
I an concerned about intermarriage which is why I joined Partners in Torah & after learning with a college boy for 3 years, he went on to Ohr Sameiach & joined a kollel. Both his parents were Jewish. But with an intermarriage rate of 80% & a high conversion rate among reform & conservative, we have a serious issue finding a halachikly Jewish person. Do we make public Chanukah parties knowing that 30% will be non Jews mingling with the Jews?
This problem is only getting worse & we would be foolish to think it doesn’t exist.
Another problem going on is that Chabad shluchim are officiating at weddings of non religious Jews who come as visitors to a resort. Later they get divorced without a Get, & remarry, causing mamzerim to be born. It would be much better if they hadn’t had a kosher wedding & wouldn’t have been married according to halacha. Then they wouldn’t need a get later.
