USA Lines: 45 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.

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. -- Mark of the Valley of Roses ...!{decvax,linus,ima,ihnp4}!bbncca!aoa!mbr
