In a sharp editorial the Haredi religious newspaper Yated Ne’eman has called the Clinton-Mezvinsky wedding a ‘spiritual Holocaust’.
“We were not supposed to address the private family event had it not been for one tiny detail: The groom is Jewish. Clinton wasn’t bothered by this ‘miniscule’ detail. As far as he’s concerned, there is no difference between a Jew and a Christian. The problem is that his new in-laws were not bothered by this either. On the contrary, they appeared quite happy with their dear son becoming the former US president’s son-in-law. The bigger problem is that most U.S. Jews aren’t bothered either. On the contrary, many of them feel part of the American nation.”
Intermarriage amongst U.S. Jews currently exceeds 60%.
