Call Me Old Fashioned.

I know that we're supposed to be used to these things. And I know that in the United States in the 21st century, intermarriage is not shocking. After all, it happens every day. I also know that I live a pretty sheltered life, choosing to ignore things like these.
But when a Jew marries a Methodist over the front pages of the New York Times while wearing a kippah and tallit with a ketubah in the background, I feel a sharp sense of pain - for him, for us, for the Jewish people.
As I think I should.
Call me old fashioned.
