Somewhere among them would be those you yourself find authorative who were willing to have their faces and names associated with EJF. His outreach to intermarried familes, among other efforts, aside – no wait, before I forget; opposing such outreach – which again is engaged in by Aish HaTorah branches, Ohr Somayach, Chabad, and the great number of Kiruv groups – would include alienating the CHILDREN of Jewish women who are intermarried, WHO ARE JEWISH from Torah (which Zohar claims to speak on behalf of) – Jewish neshamot which it seems you’d prefer to cast out to be raised by the Nations – in contradiction to the stated support by Charedi and Modern poskim in support of outreach to MORE than single Jews or Jewish couples (a ‘casting out’ in contradiction to Torah law).

Anyways, regardless of the financial improprieties and personal infractions under Troppers ‘leadership’, Tropper had encouraged STRINGENCY regarding conversions, even ones where non-Jewish women married to Jewish men were converted (and their children…nebach….sent to YESHIVA, R”L).

Your case doesn’t seem to be a legal (halachic) one; You didn’t present legal statue. Zohar (the only textual evidence you’ve presented), never went before the Sanhedrin – the last universal legal body that could canonize such legal texts. If you prefer to uphold Zohar over halacha, fine. Just don’t consider yourself a defender of Yahadut or Torah from which it derives – a Torah given to ALL ISRAEL at Sinai, not secretly in a conglomerate (even by voices within our tradition), text redacted long after we were in Galut.

Or people who otherwise oppose films, etc, can approve of outreach inclusive of intermarrieds – such as The approach of the otherwise-questionable Eternal Jewish Family international specifically appeals itself to intermarried couples who have an interest in becoming “thoroughly” Jewish…which is to say virtually any intermarried couple we could be discussing here. In fact, I don’t know an kiruv project that has turned someone away because they’re intermarried…the person/couple is asking about TORAH! We should alienate them based on Zohar by comparison?…I can’t even count the number of such couples I have known over my few years in Torah -couples who become observant and bound to communities with children now getting married and raising their own “spiritually tuned in” Jewish families. They could never have known what they could not have seen; obviously rabbis and/or laypeople opened themselves to them. Otherwise they indeed would have been lost to Judaism, which would seem to be your preference. Pasul everyone al pi Zohar, let G-d sort them out.
