148 Letters, Talks, and Stories
from the Chabad Rebbeim
It has always been my considered opinion that every Jew,
man or woman, who has a special standing and can do
much to promote Torah Yiddishkeit and fight assimilation
and intermarriage, must consider himself or herself as a
soldier at the front in the battle for Jewish survival, and
therefore has no right to desert the front.
-The Rebbe, 1982
Greeting and Blessing:
This to confirm receipt of your letter of April
5th with the enclosure.
I am gratified to note that you are in agreement with
me on the matter of the need to do away with the so-called
dialogues.
I trust that you will continue your fight to combat
the evil of intermarriage, which you mention in your letter,
and which you have carried on for a number of years in the
past. Needless to say, however, as much as is done in this
area, it is by far inadequate to avert this evil. Even if
only one case were involved, it would warrant every possible
effort, inasmuch as it is not just one case of one individu-
al, but involves children, and children's children, rela-
tives and friends, etc. How much more so in view of the
many cases, and ever growing number of cases. Your efforts
to combat this evil is not only a great Zechus for you, but
also an immediate obligation, which has a top priority.
Unfortunately, in our day and age of confusion, it is
necessary to add also the following point: There is a
prevalent fallacy in thinking that the problem of inter-
marriage can be dealt with by getting the other party to
make a declaration of conversion, Far from being a construc-
tive solution, this alternative is even more destructive
from various viewpoints. The only valid conversion is the
one that is carried out in a specific and approved way as
clearly defined by the same Shulchan Aruch which condemns
intermarriage in the strongest terms.
Furthermore there is also a common fallacy to the ef-
fect that if the full truth be told, we would frighten people
away and would be the losers. The truth of the matter is
that the only people who are frightened are those who lack
the courage to speak the truth, whereas the audience is al-
ways more impressed when it hears the full truth.
With blessing M. Schneerson
