Tahl was asked to represent his generation's version of those definitions and also his own opinion.

 Just because the particularist american 20- and 30somethings have made their "definitions" clear, doesn't make those definitions permanent. By defining our terms away from previous generations, we *are* grappling with the existence of a Jewish people.

Also-- Tahl, thanks for speaking so clearly about intermarriage. I wish more people would agree with you, but I think your definition is quite radical.
