Leah, thank you for this post and your kind words about JOI/IFF's op-ed. There was so much that was problematic about the Forward piece, that I actually missed the issue you are pointing out, about the "problem" language used in reference to intermarriage. It is of course something we have long argued against. I really appreciate what you have to say about it. As for those other issues with the Forward piece, I did a more in-depth breakdown here that you might find interesting as well. Thanks again, Paul
