“surprisingly entertaining and sometimes funny … every Jewish person should read this book.”

“…sensitive and non-judgmental”

“I really liked this book. .... I think it actually has helped me come to a decision on that subject - which would be to marry a Jewish person. It was really something that I was grappling with and going back and forth on but reading this book helped me feel like I made well-researched decision. It raises a lot of issues that I didn't think of right off the bat. I highly recommend it.”

“ A must read! …He doesn't lecture us about religion and try to convince me to "do the right thing" just because... like all of my teachers used to …what he says makes a lot of sense. Even if marrying a Jew is not so important to you, take the time to read this short, easy to-read book just to give yourself a chance to see a solid perspective on the whole deal. It was really worth the time!”

“Open-minded, user-friendly and convincing … I heard the author speaking on the subject and his writing is as good as his speaking! No matter how you feel on this important subject, this is a book to be read, discussed, and recommended.”

“… the citations of Mark Twain, the British historian Paul Johnson, and a host of contemporary sociologists and anthropologists may … surprise. In this fascinating and accessible book, Kornbluth … provides practical advice about how to maintain such values through the generations. Kornbluth's own analysis of the sociology of contemporary American culture seems almost always on target; his suggestions and plans for actions are always sensitive and never sanctimonious. The book provides an invaluable resource for a variety of different institutions--whether synagogues, temples, or college Hillels--for maintaining Jewish values and a Jewish life in a multi-cultural world. This is an important work for Jewish young people, and certainly parents of Jewish young people, across the spectrum …”

“Your About-to-Intermarry Friend Will Read This! …That is its greatest strength: It uses an approach that even the most assimilated, Jewishly apathetic person will be moved by. Up until now, there has been no literature appropriate for this challenge, since someone in love with a non-Jew usually has no desire to hear about how nice Judaism is, especially when they know Judaism threatens their love affair. This book speaks to someone who couldn't care less about Judaism …”

“ an ideal food for thought book …If you think this book will be racist, narrow-minded or otherwise archaic, forget it … this book is ideal to get discussions going and bring out into the open everything that is going on beneath the surface. I would add that even intermarried couples could benefit from reading it as they will better understand the situation that they are in.”

“I am Christian, and while I'm not necessarily so religious I grew up in a strong Christian home. And I have come to realize that being Christian is a big part of who I am … ultimately I realized that I wanted my children to grow up with the traditions I had, and Sharona felt the same way about hers … I applaud Doron Kornbluth for writing this compelling book.”
