For decades, the Jewish world drew a firm line: Rabbis must have Jewish partners. To do otherwise would be to compromise the integrity of Jewish leadership.

Reconstructing Judaism saw it differently.

We believe that Judaism is strengthened, not weakened, when we trust people to navigate complexity. When we graduate rabbis who understand interfaith families from the inside. When we say: Your love doesn't disqualify you from leadership.
