What should Jews do about mixed marriages?

Edgar Bronfman says Jews ought to recognize mixed marriages.

 

In an interview with Haaretz yesterday, Bronfman said: "Judaism must open up and fully accept families where one of the parents is not Jewish. If a revolutionary change is not made in the present rejectionist attitude toward mixed couples, the Jewish community in America will shrink and lose its influence, and American support for Israel will be in danger."

 

Clearly, the policy of anathemetizing such couples is not working. Mixed marriages happen. But perhaps there are other solutions.
