When my husband read an early draft of this essay, he asked,
"Why doesn't her partner have to support our daughter? After
all, they agreed to raise children as Jews." What does it mean
to raise a Jewish child? A great way for Jewish professionals
and volunteers who work with and provide programming for people
in interfaith relationships to locate resources and trainings to
build more welcome into their Jewish communities; connect with
and learn from each other; and publicize and enhance their
programs and services. Thanks to all of you who responded to our
December holidays survey. The results are in! Earlier this
morning, we sent out the following press release – let us know
what you think of the findings. Interfaith Families Participate
