Reform Jews Hope to Unmix Mixed Marriages

I have long considered Judaism as a "heathen" faith - it's tribal and ethnic, has an aversion to proselytizing and concentrates on the family and community. And we Heathens could learn alot from the Jewish struggle to survive as they've weathered a diaspora spanning the centuries.

It will be interesting and instructive to see how this push towards more uniformity works out.

Efforts to encourage the non-Jewish spouses of Reform Jews to convert have mostly been frowned upon, but that may be changing.
