I&#8217;ve met a lot of people who feel much more galvanized, much more organized. But that will only be sustained if we offer them, you know, ways to participate in a real and robust way in Jewish life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">COHEN: And whose responsibility is that?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">GREENBLATT: All of ours. But like, this is why we need a revolution in our community, on so many levels. So look, the reality is is that intermarriage rates continue to go up. Assimilation continues apace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And look, I fight anti-Semitism. That is my job. But I worry a great deal about broader questions of Jewish identity, as I think we talked about over lunch. And so I think it&#8217;s really important that our synagogues, our schools, summer camps, our all of our institutions and the federations and denominations and other groups that sort of manage them. I think we all need to look in the mirror and make sure that we&#8217;re doing everything we can to adapt and to iterate and to be part of where the world is going, not just where the world has been.<\/p>\n<p>The ADL, as the leading &#8220;anti-racist&#8221; and &#8220;anti-hate&#8221; group in the country, decries opposition to intermarriage on their website and even has an entire curriculum for American school children encouraging intermarriage titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=%22Winning+the+Right+to+Marry%3A+Historic+Parallels.%22\">&#8220;Winning the Right to Marry: Historic Parallels.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/adl-intermarriage-book.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt aligncenter size-full wp-image-313416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/adl-intermarriage-book.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"479\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/adl-intermarriage-book.png 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/adl-intermarriage-book-480x328.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 700px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/adl-website-against-intermarriage-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt aligncenter size-full wp-image-313418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/adl-website-against-intermarriage-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"838\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/adl-website-against-intermarriage-2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/adl-website-against-intermarriage-2-480x575.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 700px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Evidently, the ADL&#8217;s vocal support for intermarriage doesn&#8217;t apply to Jews.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.informationliberation.com\/?id=65007\">Source\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evidently, the ADL&#8217;s vocal support for intermarriage doesn&#8217;t apply to Jews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":313414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-313412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Israel_Anti-Semitism_Zionism_and_US-UK_allies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=313412"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":313420,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313412\/revisions\/313420"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/313414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=313412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=313412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=313412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
