I am surprised that the talmud gave him no street sense. Either that or his little head likes his wife more than his big head can think. Dude, being modern orthodox means you have to marry in the faith (there is one jewish gay ortho rabbi, but he is a joke) and have jewish kids. That is a priori, buddy, before we even get to strapping tefillin and turning the black berry off on shabbos. If you marry out, you are out, there is no bigger rejection. Eating pork rinds is kidplay. Having a marital relationship with a non-jew, well, you might was well have burnt an artscroll torah at your reunion. I really do not get Noah feldman, he almost seems to have some demon inside him, that somehow he is smart enough to reject and criticize judaism, but not live up to it. It is as if barry bonds said, aw screw it, baseball is an elitist sport with drugged up players and money hungry owners creating an illusion of sport, and for some reason, after saying that, i do not get invited to the hall of fame. I mean, it is not like I am pete rose, or something. Dude, you REJECTED judaism with your most important life decision. Leave and get over it.
