31. In the next generation
Kuti ,   Israel   (02.15.14)
secular Jews might well be a minority, not only in the US but in Israel too. The US Jews will be flooded with religious Jews and not only in the US but in Israel too. Religious Jews are baruch Hashem multiplying like nobody else.
32. US Jews will disappear'
Jacques ,   nsw   (02.16.14)
Great expectation to be a Jew today!
33. Here is the truth apicoris
moriah ,   galut   (02.16.14)
When a Jew is strong and committed in his faith following the laws of G-d the Goyiim respect him. When a Jew falls all over himself try to out goy the goy - he is hated and disrespected. Remember the Holocaust. Remember the Tochachah all you who have abandoned G-d. The Torah is our guide book. Being a Jew is not about lox and bagels.. Wake up!!
34. US Jewish Experiment Ending in Failure
Logic ,   Israel   (02.16.14)
No one asked them to make Aliyah. No one asked them to join the IDF and share the burden of defending the Jewish homeland against the Arabs. All that was assumed was that they'd perpetuate their communities and maintain solidarity in supporting Israel and they failed at those two basic missions. This is a sad situation bordering upon pathetic. The bright spot is that the orthodox will be the seed of the rebirth, but it will take several centuries to undo the damage.
35. To # 23

The malevolent, opportunistic nature of goyim???? Isn't that how Hitler described the Jews to justify their murder?? And maybe, just maybe, if the Jews back then had not been so damn' peaceful, more of them would have survived. If goyim sounded like you with respect to intermarriage of their kids with Jews, you probably couldn't scream "antisemitism" loudly enough. As for IM's being "less sturdy," do you suppose that may have something to do with those weird Jewish divorce laws which keep a woman tied to some bastard of a man, who should be in jail in lieu of being allowed to emotionally terrorize a woman and kids? I don't believe in ANY religion, but if the "sexual perversions" of some of Judaism's finest were to become known, they'd be right up there with those "chrustions." Just as an aside, isn't there a mitzvah to the effect that you should be in Israel???? I'm just wondering about that. Obviously, Judaism isn't any less based on what's convenient than other religions. I couldn't care less, except to the extent that it amuses me to no end.
36. The Gentiles need the Torah and Commandments and the Jews
Rivkah   (02.16.14)
need the Jewish Messiah Yahoshua Ariel Shelomoh Ha Mashiach ben David ben Elohim. Yahoshua means salvation. Ariel means Lion of Elohim. Shelomoh means peace. Gentiles and Christians without the Torah and Commandments are outside the will of Elohim. Jews without the Messiah are outside the will of Elohim. Both are needed, so the many marriages of Gentiles and Jews is a portrait of the Marriage of Yahoshua who is Jewish to His Gentile Bride.

Your "cure" will not work. Re #1: Grandparents are not smarter and kids won't listen to them. They are irrelevant. They do not have the knowledge prized by the younger generation. Old people are past their "use by" date. Young people are running the show now. Re #2: Who will pay for this? number 2 on your list? I realize that all of this is hypothetical, but synagogues giving lists to universities, Hillels, etc. reminds me of lists given to the police to round up Jews in the Nazi era. There was a Hillel on campus where I attended graduate school. I avoided it like the plague, only losers and uglies went there. Re#3: a matter of opinion. I don't think that Jewish families are any more caring or better than any other families composed of good people like this secular humanist's family. Borders on arrogance.
38. JAPs is a racist misogynistic term

39. Assimilate Baby Assimilate!!
World Citizen ,   the world   (02.16.14)
The more Jewish men marry good Christian women the more those women will make Christmas fans out of those lucky guys. Face it .... Jewish holidays are all about revenge and holding grudges. Boring! Christmas on the other hand is about caring for your fellow man. It has everything. The story of the Messiah, the pagan tree, the snowy weather, the music, the food, the presents and Santa!! You gotta like fat jolly guys in red suits. I think this assimilation thing will do the tribe good.
40. #39 Re: Assimilate Baby Assimilate
Logic ,   Israel   (02.16.14)
I suggest you go assimilate some small rainforest tribes in South America or head over to one of the Native American reservations closer to home and pitch them on what you wrote here - or would that offend your "worldy" sensibilities? Maybe you could even convince them to build a strip mall for so they'll have the experience of trampling each other to grab the latest fad toy.
41. World Citizen
bob Frisby ,   Tel Aviv   (02.16.14)
You seem very happy to witness the demise of our people, WC. Why the gleefulness? It's only Christmas one day a year. What about the other 364?
42. exactly!
bob frisby ,   tel aviv   (02.16.14)
The US Jews are as cut off from their Judaism as were the Jews of Berlin, just prior to WW11. Is history repeating itself?
43. #39 - I think this assimilation thing will do the tribe good

And spare them some nasty inherited diseases ,...
44. It's not just in America, it is a phenomena all over thWORLD
Adolpho ,   Rosario, Argentina   (02.17.14)
Jews in every country they reside in are intermarrying with non-Jews. It is not only an American problem of assimilation. There used to be 500,000 Jews in Argentina. Now, probably less than half that number identify as Jews. Let's hope the trend changes. G-d bless us all!
45. Individualism reason for all assimilation
My Planet Israel ,   Tzfat/Israel   (02.17.14)
Radical Individualism is the reason for assimilation. This genocidal plight, which mows down the naturally manifest ethnic diversity is just a part of the American 'experiment' as Lincoln called it but is ultimately harmful to all of humanity in that it destroys unity rather than fostering it: look how divided the US populace is. Assimilation is actually encouraged out of fear- liberalism, like communism, despises diversity and is in full swing to eradicate it. But remember: 80% of the Jews of Egypt stayed in Egypt even when offered freedom. It is part and parcel of being Jewish and also a lesson to natures tribal (ethnic preservation) value: all ethnicities should take notice for they too are disappearing as is unity. The most down-played fact in modern history is that due to assimilation, the Caucasian ethnicity ('white people) will disappear in one more century. In fact, By 2070, experts say that not a single Caucasian baby will be born. An entire ethnicity has been wiped out in a non-reversible act of genocide by assimilation. Perhaps we should just mow down every meadows of wild flowers across the world and replace them with Astro-Turf? It seems the liberals and Their petty fears will enjoy that.
46. At no point in history has Christendom not turned on the con
david turner ,   Richmond   (02.17.14)
verts. And with the Nuremberg Laws reminding us that the Law also is not always protective, and the Holocaust called by its alternate name, the Final Solution to the Jewish Problem... Need I suggest the author and most readers a bit too "optimistic"?
47. US Jews will Disappear
Harold ,   USA   (02.17.14)
That is the reason the Jewish population in the world stayed little over that thirteen million. The reasons are follows: Most Jewish men marry Christian girls and their children stay Christians Most Jews want to have one or sometimes two children. Many Jews started to believe In Jesus Christ and convert to Christianity and that happened to my Jewish friend.
48. When this last occurred. . .
Akiva ,   NYC   (02.17.14)
The last time a premiere Jewish community assimilated and intermarried at this rate was Germany! In the event of another depression in the USA I could see Jews being less well treated.
49. #36 - wake up!
Rachel ,   USA   (02.17.14)
We are waiting for OUR Moshiach, not your faux dead man-g-d who probably didn't even exist. Keep to your own 'book' and leave OUR Torah alone! Go proselytize your lies somewhere else.
50. This is a side effect of the J.A.Ps
Doron ,   US   (02.19.14)
They are impossible women!
51. Not cause for antisemitism.
ILIA TOLI ,   Orlando, USA   (02.22.16)
Not actually. Jews altogether are 1.2% of population, down from 4% 70 years ago. Now plenty of women, white, latinas, black, prefer Jewish grooms for obvious reasons of character and profession. It's not the end of the world. Even Jewish women do the same, in droves. Which is good if you think that in Tel Aviv the ratio of singles male:female is 1:3. Time to assimilate.
