masterpiece will be easily paid back within days – by saving you
from dating individuals who are unlikely to provide the sense of
togetherness that we are all looking for.” |

| “This book addresses one of the central issues of the Jewish
world today: Should Jews marry other Jews? A variety of stories,
a wealth of studies, and a host of expert opinions combine in
this user-friendly self-help paperback to show that even the
most unaffiliated people should consider the high likelihood
that religious connections will become more important for them
and their spouses as time goes on.” |

provoking discussion (s) …This book definitely belongs in all
Jewish homes.” |

| “There's so much to say about the subject, you could write a
book about it …which is just what Doron Kornbluth … did in his
new book … which he spoke about at a recent lecture …Kornbluth
sums it all up in his introduction: "If you are Jewish, your
chances of having a happy marriage, of your kids feeling rooted
and stable and of having Jewish descendants are all
significantly higher if you marry another Jew - whether a
sincere convert or someone born Jewish …he backs up his theory
with statistics and interviews with intermarried couples.” |
Jewish News of Greater Phoenix
|
| “provides a convincing argument for why marrying within the
faith is not only essential for Jewish continuity but makes good
practical sense as well …Kornbluth’s measured, reasoned approach
to the issue is refreshingly free from the kind of doomsday,
often highly judgmental rhetoric that characterizes many other
studies of the intermarriage phenomenon …” |
South African Jewish Review
|
| “Now comes a new book, “Why Marry Jewish?” (Targum/Feldheim
Publishing), that makes several direct and compelling arguments
for Jews to marry Jews. Written by Doron Kornbluth of Jerusalem,
it is geared toward American Jews for whom religious practice
and historical ties hold little sway … Kornbluth focuses on
personal happiness and trots out various statistics and surveys
to show that intermarried couples report less marital
contentment and have significantly higher levels of divorce due
to the added stress of not having common backgrounds, goals and
values. He also notes that Jews in their 20s are at a lifetime
low point for Jewish involvement, often unaware that their
interest will increase in coming decades, particularly if they
become parents. Children of intermarriage, no matter whether
they are raised to embrace one religion, both or neither, tend
to lack a sense of identity and belonging and often suffer from
a lack of family closeness…” |
