'This should be our primary task,'Tobin passionately argues. Tobin confronts his community with theeye-opening reality that 'in order to rebuild and revitalizeJudaism in this country we must rethink our religion as somethingboth born Jews and converts must actively choose and stop blamingintermarriage for Judaism's decline.' He implores the Jewishcommunity to shift its focus from preventing intermarriage toembracing an open, positive, accessible, and joyful process ofencouraging non-Jews to become Jews. As Tobin bluntly puts it, 'Wemust abandon the paradigm that our children and grandchildren maybecome Gentiles and promote the thought that America is filled withmillions of potential Jews.'

Tobin's controversial plan is sure to spark productivedialogue throughout the Jewish community.…
