This legal framework facilitated the regime’s oppressive policies and contributed to the persecution and eventual #genocide of Jews and other minorities.

The Nuremberg Race Laws institutionalized racial discrimination, stripping Jews of #citizenship and prohibiting #intermarriage with Germans.

Special courts were established to handle politically sensitive cases, often bypassing #DueProcess.

Hebrew Union College to admit and ordain rabbinical students in interfaith relationships, ending longstanding ban, By Philissa Cramer June 20, 2024

"...To replace the intermarriage ban, HUC is adopting a new requirement that students with children pledge to raise them “exclusively as Jews engaged with Jewish religious practice, education, and community.”

The commitment is in line with what Reform rabbis are asked to require of couples they wed and reflects the movement’s stance on determining who is a Jew: While historically Judaism was largely conferred through conversion or matrilineal descent, for four decades, Reform Judaism has considered any child of one Jewish parent to be Jewish as long as they are raised with a “positive and exclusive Jewish identity.”

In a shift, Hebrew College will now admit and ordain rabbinical students whose partners are not Jewish

"We should be training rabbis for the Jewish community that exists," one rabbinical student wrote in arguing for the policy change.
