Wasserman Schultz calls Jewish intermarriage a "problem"

5. This is OLD, Feb. 2015, fwiw, in her local paper.

'Comments and a subsequent clarification from U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston have attracted new attention to long-running concerns over the implications of interfaith marriage in the Jewish community.

Wasserman Schultz recently told a Jewish group that interfaith marriage is a "problem." On Tuesday, in a statement issued by the Democratic National Committee, she said she does "not oppose" it.

Wasserman Schultz's use of the term "problem" isn't an unusual view; many in the Jewish community are concerned about interfaith marriage. But every utterance from the Democratic congresswoman, who represents a heavily Jewish district in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, receives scrutiny because she's the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.'>>>
