When a Jew marries a person who is not Jewish , and the couple lives in a place where there is a majority of people who are not Jews, it is most likely that the couple's children will not grow up as practicing Jews, and as adults will not live as Jews, unless they learn more about the Jewish people and about what it is to be Jewish. They can chose their way of life, and will not be denied the chance to chose living as a Jewish person, so we need to reach out to them to make Jewish choices. The world today is a small global village, let us use this concept to bring more Jews closer to each other, closer to their legacy, reveal to the Jews the history of their people, the traditions, give every Jew the opportunity to learn about the Jewish people and to live a Jewish life the way he or she decides to, whether religious or secular. The Internet can be used as a place for Jews all over the world to meet more Jewish people with common hobbies and points of view, a place where Jewish people will be able to find more about themselves as Jews and a place where they will be able to find friends for life. My suggestion for Jewish people living outside of Israel to come and visit.
Many communities offer partially subsidized trips to Israel for groups of teenagers or adults.
This kind of a trip can be an unforgetable experience. We must act today or, I fear, in a few years we will witness the slow but steady process of the disappearance of the Jewish people. I'm 18 years old and I live in Israel. Soon I'll graduate high school and start my military service.
