Glaser also spoke to Jewish thinkers on both sides of the intermarriage debate. Theirs was a dispute over tactics, not goals. It's important for the Jewish community to see that there are people who can make this work, and still have Judaism survive and flourish. And what it suggests is that Jews who intermarry often do not lose their religious affiliation, and that many non-Jewish partners are powerfully drawn toward Judaism. Indeed, like several other non-Jewish partners in the book, Glaser herself eventually decided to convert to Judaism.
