Yid Vid: Israeli TV Makes Intermarriage Seem Funny, Grave

By Daniel Treiman March 12, 2008

This is a great report from Israel’s Channel 10 on intermarriage in America. The report offers an incisive outsider’s perspective on this sensitive issue that manages to be simultaneously funny and serious and offers a thoroughly human look at an American Jewish dilemma without proffering easy answers.

It was posted on YouTube late last year. The comments on the video’s YouTube page are interesting.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.
