Here are some quotes we found noteworthy from each of the text sources used:

“One is granting a victory to anti-Semites who seek to destroy the Jewish people. Think of what has been sacrificed in the past by our own ancestors to keep their Judaism. And think of the heritage that is being sacrificed for the sake of personal reasons.” - Ask the Rabbi

“A major change in Jewish attitudes towards intermarriage is necessary. It is time to put an end to talks with titles such as “Intermarriage: The Greatest Threat to Jewish Continuity” and begin talking about “Intermarriage: The Unacknowledged Gift to Jewish Continuity.”"- Karen Kushner, Accepting the Gift of Interfaith Marriage, Remarks at the World Union of Progressive Judaism convention, February 9, 2011.
