Re: disapproving of an interfaith marriage--but what if he didn'
t mean for you to hear?

The rabbi didn't say anything, this came from someone else. I
would not blame him for his feelings (Orthodox rabbis frequently
have very strong feelings about intermarriage) and he handled it
as well as he could. We don't know what happened with the
response card, it might have gotten lost in transit or
something. I think the best thing the family can do is nothing.
Don't comment on it, don't start a debate.

Or he may have delayed sending back the RSVP because he felt bad
about saying no and was talking to his Orthodox Rabbi about any
possible ways he could attend.

In today's Washington Post, there's a story about a cousin
(Orthodox rabbi, though "not practicing," whatever that means)
[/quote]
It means he has the rabbinical education but is not working as a
rabbi. Like saying someone has an MD but isn't a practicing
physician.
