Abstract:
This article explores the conflict between the values and ethics of social work and the values and ethics of Judaism that arises when serving intermarried clients or prospective mixed-marriage couples. It examines the values of the social worker, Jewish family service agency, and rabbinic community regarding an agency policy on intermarriage and applies the deontological and utilitarian theories to that policy.
