On the subject of intermarriage, yes, the liberal branches of Judaism such as Reconstructionist, Reform & Conservative have a more liberal attitude and policy towards it. However, I am a strictly Orthodox Jew (complete with long beard and yarmulke), and am bound by strict Torah law. That means Excommunication and sitting shiva for the offending family member. As far as Bob Dylan goes, he was born a Jew and in the eyes of Torah law will always remain one, no matter how many gallons of holy water he has been baptised with. For the record, he did go to Lubavitch for a while to return to his roots. He then attended a Yeshiva in Far Rockaway, Queens, N.Y. under the leadership of Rabbi Freifeld, with the intention of becoming Orthodox.
However that proved to be short lived, as he has now once again become a "born again" Christian. But in the eyes of Torah law, he remains and will always be a Jew. The same holds true for Cardinal Lustiger of France SOL ZELLER
