Intermarriage is an American Jewish reality — a natural consequence of a liberal society in which individuals have the freedom to marry whomever they wish.

​

We affirm this freedom and this right.

​

We believe that intermarriage is neither good nor bad, just as we believe that the marriage of two Jews, in itself, is neither good nor bad. The moral worth of a marriage always depends on the quality of the human relationship — on the degree of mutual love and respect that prevails.
