Conservative rabbis have issued a new teshuvah approved by the movement’s Law Committee on interfaith marriages. The responsa states that rabbis may not officiate at such weddings but may bless the Jewish families that result from them.

The authors describe the ruling as an effort to balance halachic tradition, inclusion, and demographic realities in contemporary Jewish life.
