- Selected Sources for Additional Reading on Judaism
- Part XI: Intermarriage
- [Last Change: $Date: 1995/10/19 15:20:51 $ $Revision: 1.2 $]
- [Last Post: Thu Feb 19 11:07:05 US/Pacific 2004]
-
- This list provides a collection of sources on the subject of
- intermarriage for the readers of soc.culture.jewish. This list is not
- attempting to present a position either for or against intermarriage;
- that is up to the individual to decide in consultation with their
- Rabbi. This list does attempt to include books from all sides of the
- spectrum, so that educated consideration can be given to the subject.
-
- Intermarriage is a serious concern in the Jewish community. According
- to the 1991 issue of Newsweek, 52% of men and women who have married
- since 1985 took gentiles as spouses (in 1964, the number was 9%).
- Furthermore, 3 of every 4 children of intermarriages are being raised
- either as Christians (41%) or with no religion at all (31%). The issue
- stated that 60% of Reform Jews, 50% of Conservative Jews, and 25% of
- Orthodox Jews are intermarried, and at many Reform Shabbat services a
- third or more of the participants are unconverted spouses. Now these
- numbers may have inaccuracies, but the concern and trends remain the
- same regardless of the exact value of the numbers.
-
- Where Can I Get The Books
-
- Many of these books are available through general bookstores or
- Judaica bookstores. A list of links to these may be found in the
- [6]sources section of the [7]General Reading List (if you are reading
- this at [8]www.scjfaq.org, you can simply click on the "Sources"
- button in the header navigation bar).
-
- [Amazon Associate] The S.C.J Reading List has established an affiliate
- relationship with Amazon.Com. ([9]http://www.amazon.com/). Now you can
- complete your library and support the continued development of the
- Reading Lists at the same time, for many books on the reading list are
- available through Amazon. For those reading this at
- [10]www.scjfaq.org/rl/int-intro.html, you can click the link to the
- left to browse Amazon's selections. Alternatively, if you enter Amazon
