Reader comment on:
The Fact Of Jewish Particularity

Submitted by Diana, Aug 8, 2007 10:41

With the general population's marriage failure rate hovering around 60% and the Jewish/Gentile marriage failure rate hovering around 80%, the chances of the success of Mr. Feldman's marriage are remarkably slim.

Should his marriage "succeed", and he is present in the home, what then are the chances he will be able to transmit Jewish values to his Gentile children?

However, should his marriage end, clearly this will not be a problem. He will have NO chance.
