Let me know too.

A lot of young Jewish professional organizations are run through local Chabads. They put on social events where it’s just about meeting other Jewish young adults regardless of observance level. My fiancé and I go to these events all the time and we’ve made a lot of friends doing so and some of our friends have found relationships through them. I’ve belonged to conservative Shuls my whole life and i wish they did stuff like this but they seem to all be mostly focused on early childhood and families which is needed but obviously the gap with Jewish adults 20s-30s isn’t great

I suggest rather than asking shuls ask HaShem, Shabbat is a great time to ask HaShem for your son's soulmate and offcourse it will be nice if you can ask your son to observe Shabbat and join shul. I strongly feel finding one's shiddich is totally up to and in hands of HaShem. Shuls and organizations can provides opportunities to meet but still the shidduchim can happen on the will of HaShem. So pray for your son and bless him often he will find a suitable Jewish match soon Beezret HaShem 🙂

@@insaanietihad-MSB : My son does observe shabbat and he is very active in his college habad shul. But let's not forget that the subject of Rabbi Cosgrove speech is: Intermarriage is Rising. So in addition to the ezra of haShem our efforts are needed to slow or reverse this Rising. How are synagogues address this problem? They don't and they should!

@@JB-wc9hn Perhaps you can post a link to such an event?

Wow, the percentages were the same.

My husband Dan, who was raised Reform, and I, a long-time Quaker, wished to have a rabbi co-officiate at our wedding in 2000. We found NO rabbi's either Reform or Conservative willing to be there. This was deeply hurtful to both of us. It modeled for both of us a sense of theological rejection. It felt like the saddest imaginable abandonment by God at an incredibly important time in our lives as we celebrated our love in community. As a couple committed to creating a Jewish family and home, as soon as we were married we found the Jewish community fully enthusiastic to welcome us into their congregations as members, and to be fully inclusive as we raised our children religiously. We created an incredibly rich and joy-filled Jewish home, despite the painful experience we had with local rabbis. We've been super active in our local Reform synagogue, where our child attended Hebrew school for her entire childhood, attended years of Jewish summer camp, and was bat mitzvahed. Dan and I "synagogue shopped" after getting married and our experience was that the lack of openness to non-Jews who were unwilling to convert was palpable in the Conservative congregations we visited. Honestly, I didn't feel welcome as a non-Jew in the Conservative tradition. There's a lot more I could say about our experiences and the lack of a welcoming environment. Whereas, if a local Conservative synagogue had been open and welcoming to me, and to us as a couple, I believe we would have given serious consideration to joining a Conservative congregation for multiple, amazing reasons. I think Conservative Judaism has a long way to go on the issue of being welcoming to interfaith couples, and that the rigidity of its approach is truly hurting Conservative Judaism. You have so much to gain from being open and welcoming, and as far as I'm concerned, with all respect for religious law, very little to lose. The world has changed and approaches to theology have changed, yet people still thirst for God. We thirst to undergird our marriages religiously, and to raise our children deeply rooted in religious traditions that will bring rich meaning and wisdom to our lives. A re-envisioning is needed of how Conservative Judaism is going to respond to this changing world.

Racist.

So what is the suggestion? To marry a jewish spouse or change judaism for a progressives privilege?

They're going to marry anyway!

Overall, 50% of Jewish adults are single at any given time. HTH. ❤️

@@sitresjolie2343 Thanks. Some Jewish guys at a local college have events this time of year. I know they're a bit younger than me, but maybe I'll meet someone there.🤞🏽

@@user-ln5il4un3x Beezret HaShem and Good luck with that 🙂

Great choice!

Converts know MORE about Judaism than many secular Jews!

Who is a real Jew?

Who loves Israel

If you did not convert Orthodox, do not worrry, you can marry any one you like !!

You know as an aspiring convert myself, I feel we are very lucky to be married to HaShem atleast and became a partner with HaShem in this marital covenant. Have no idea though that Jewish men have weight or height requirements to be fulfilled. Also is it compulsory to fund a Student for Torah study, I have no idea. 🤨🤔 Well Personally I don't mind staying single all my life as long as I am accepted into the covenant and accepted by HaShem. If the blessing of marriage, children and family comes along too Baruch HaShem if not even then Baruch HaShem Beezret HaShem in next life will have that. 🙂

When progressivism gets confused with judaism, run as far as you can from democrats

The Talmud has become an idol.

I decided not to because I didn't want to be a "second 🥈 class citizen"!

Not to jump into your praising the rabbi, but are you familiar with judaism at all? Jews ideally marry jewish, it is that simple and it has nothing to do with "division", as you put it. Perhaps if you in this synagogue every Saturday you can explore this subject with the Rabbi.

@@michaelestrinone2111 That’s a helpful suggestion albeit obvious. Yes, I know Judaism. All respect due you, perhaps you’re an adolescent. There is nothing wrong in questioning. In many ways, questioning opens dialogs leading to better understanding in areas of religious practice. To blindly parade along with only the laws and suggestions put before me, does little to deepen my understanding of exactly what I’ve followed thus far. Open eyes and hearts are what my God expects. I wish you peace, sir.

​@@kathygrosvenor4464 " perhaps you’re an adolescent". I wish... "There is nothing wrong in questioning.."- Actually, for the jews there is everything wrong with questioning halacha. Personally I never wanted or needed to have any dialog discussing or understanding religious practices. I lived all my life not knowing anything about muslem practices, catholic practices, hindu practices etc. Jews can't even enter the churches. The important thing for me is to be respectful and polite and not question anybody's religious practices. But you are correct, comments section in this video is not suitable for such conversation.

Progressive American jews wouldn't recognize a jewish value even if it slaps them in the face. If progressivism is in conflict with Judaism, a real normal Jew will chose Judaism. The lost Democrat Jews will chose progressivism and assimilate to disappear in history. Jews in Germany wanted to be the best Germans possible, it didn't turn out well. A warning to the progressive Jews in America
