Heaven forbid that the RA and the Conservative Movement recognize the irreversible fact that #intermarriage is common and will remain so. If they did, Conservative #rabbis might be forced to engage with such couples to encourage them to raise their children as #Jews, or lead an effort to welcome these families in their shuls.

What are the barriers to a successful relationship with a Swede?
Not sure what I was expecting from this survey but people really put their heart and soul into the responses. Serves as a reminder that inter-cultural relationships are tough - and over-represented in divorce statistics. Going to be talking about this in the Sweden in Focus podcast this week.
