...that is strong and self providing. Israel is an example of the need for a people to have a home. It is almost impossible for Jews to truly call themselves at home in any country. This is true today as it was over the past 3,000 years. Jewish inter-marriage in this country is another attempt of Jews to establish for themselves a place to truly call home, to allow them to be fully integrated into American society. But which of these two solutions, intermarriage or Israel, allows for both a strengthening of Jewish culture as well as providing...
...richly-textured performance, works similar magic with Oberon. As the proud, ironic, fiercely stub-born and dangerous fairy king, he is also able to laugh at himself--a trait which, besides adding depth and likeability to this too-often-stodgy character, also opens the way to much humorous stage inter-action with his mercurial messenger, Puck. This depth of characterization, typical of this production's ability to infuse even the minor scenes of the play with meaning and humor, is one of the strongest points of the show...
...being cited, characterized his more verbally oriented colleagues as being "self-indulgent, non-rigorous, and generally without use." While most would not go this far, it is probable that, deep down in their heart of hearts, many science majors have similar, if less strongly expressed, feelings. Of course this inter-concentration rivalry is a two-way street. Humanities majors (and indeed probably much of the general public) tend to view their more math-and-sciencey counterparts as pale, soul-less sorts who shun the light and prefer the company of machines to that of humans.

...example, let us assume 60 percent of marriages involving American Jews are to non-Jews. Then for every ten marriages involving a Jew, 6 will be between a Jew and a non-Jew, and 4 will be between two Jews. It is not hard to see that the 6 inter-marriages involve 6 Jews, while the 4 in-group marriages involve 8 Jews. Thus, in our scenario, in which a considerable majority of marriages involving American Jews are with non-Jews, 57 percent of Jews are still marrying within the religion...
...noted that Dershowitz's data is not necessarily incorrect despite the flaw in logic outlined above. If a sufficient percentage (namely 67 percent) of marriages involving American Jews are inter-marriages, then it would, in fact, be true that a majority of Jews are marrying outside the faith. --Jeremy L.
