I’m truly shocked to see so many people say that we should convert the partner of an intermarried Jew. A conversion for the sake of marriage is completely pasul and even though some Batei Din allow it sometimes this does not mean it is ok. It would be the same as the rabbonim going into the house of every freie yid who eats chometz on pesach to replace the chometz with matzos. It is not the beis din’s task to keep people from aveiros that they have already commited. The Syrian community of Brooklyn does not allow the children of these ‘marriages’ into their yeshivos because they know this will be a trigger for their bochrim to consider marrying a goy as a serious option. The truth is that geirus is only for those who truly have no ulterior motives like kavod, money or marriage. With that said I think we should educate yidden all over the world, no matter if they are frum or frei, that intermarriage simply is not an option. People who do, chas v’sholom, choose to intermarry, are out, simple as that. Intermarrying is the worst of all aveiros as it is not only affecting yourself but it equals cutting off all future generations that would have been born had that person had a Jewish family.
