Re-Form: Interfaith Marriage

JL;DR SUMMARY The episode examines the Reform movement's approach to interfaith marriage, exploring how rabbis decide whether to officiate such weddings based on the couple's commitment to raising a Jewish family. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

"My friend and colleague, Zach Shapiro, the other Rabbi Shapiro out here in Los Angeles, I think I was still in rabbinical school and he came to speak to our class and he said something along the lines of I don't officiate at intermarriages but I will officiate at a ceremony in which one of the parties is not yet Jewish and he then qualified that by saying that to him an intermarriage suggests the coming together and weaving together of two invited."
