Although our site has been receiving articles for the past few months,
articles posted to the net have not been getting distributed until recently.
The following is a reposting of an article I sent out quite some time ago.
I believe it never made it to the net at large.  While I believe it is still
worth posting, the articles in the references line have probably all been
expired by now.  Apologies if you have seen this before.

I don't recollect such discussions having happened much after the first
month after the creation of net.religion.jewish, however I'll take you
at your word.

I'd like to hear from other Jews  who are involved in relationships with
non-Jews.  Particularly those who wish to maintain a Jewish cultural identity,
but are primarily secular rather than religious Jews.  How do you and your
spouse/spouse-equivalent deal with it (if at all)?  If you're married, did
you include any elements of Jewish ritual in the ceremony?  If you have
children, how are they affected?  What decisions have you made about their
cultural/religious upbringing?  How has it worked out?

Does anybody on this net admit to having been raised Reform?  Speak up!
The "frummies" have dominated this group long enough.  Lets discuss matters
that affect us in the day to day, rather than spending 100% of our time
picking theological nits.

Also, is anybody out there interested in Klezmer music?

And finally, where can one find a good sour garlic pickle (not those anemic
half-sour things) around Boston?  The closest place I've found is Rein's
in Vernon, Conn. (about 100 miles from here).

Serious followups only, please.  Flames and abuse from the "frummer than thou"
crowd will be taken as a demonstration that there really is a need for a new
group.
