Israel Minister says Jews marrying outside religion is 'like the Holocaust,' report says
Israel's new top education official has reportedly compared intermarriage among Jews in North America to the Holocaust in comments said to have been confirmed by his spokesperson.
The meeting reportedly involved a briefing by Jewish People Policy Institute chairman Dennis Ross and a senior official involved in the administrations of former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. The discussion involved the increasing rate of unions between Jews and non-Jews and to Peretz this meant the Jewish people have lost"lost 6 million people" over the past 70 years, according to Axios.
Peretz is an Orthodox rabbi who heads the United Right alliance of mostly far-right parties. The hard-line views of this sector of Israeli society often clash with liberal political trends and at times even the more secular right-wing groups like Netanyahu's Likud. The report drew a strong response from the Jewish community, not only in Israel but in the U.S. as well.
