Today in Jewish history, we discussed the issue of how to address the "problem" (depending on your view of the situation) of Jews not marrying within the faith. To some more orthodox Jews, it seems as if this is very important. To many reform Jews, however, this issue does not affect us as Jews very much. In my opinion, it is important to take an already existing standpoint. This standpoint is that we shouldn't advocate intermarriage, but if someone is intermarried, we shouldn't discriminate against them. This way, we still enforce our beliefs as enforced in the Torah, but also do not keep people out of Judaism just because of their personal choices. As far as "middle ground" goes, this is pretty much the perfect compromise.
