- Duration: 28 min
A discussion of the 1983 decision of Reform Judaism to embrace patrilineal descent, thereby declaring as Jews the children of either a Jewish mother or father (along with affirmative acts of commitment to the Jewish people). This was a dramatic change to the prevailing conceptions of Jewish identity, and in retrospect made intermarriage acceptable and opened the floodgates to mass assimilation.
