Answering Your Jewish Children is designed to supply fathers of other religious backgrounds whose spouses/partners are Jewish with practical information and guidance to help them raise Jewish children in the context of an interfaith marriage. Each session will present the key questions and answers involved for fathers who are raising Jewish children but are not Jewish themselves. Session topics will include: the "big" questions that children ask about life, death and God; holidays and rituals; and Jewish values and ethics.
This free, three-session program will begin in mid-February with rolling admissions. Sessions will be held at the Woodcliff Lake Hilton. Please contact Liz Marcovitz at LMarcovitz@joi.org or 212.760.1440 to register.
Answering Your Jewish Children is a program of the Jewish Outreach Institute.
The Answering Your Jewish Children curriculum has been developed through a Berrie Innovation Grant from the Berrie Fellows Leadership Program, an education and leadership program funded by the Russell Berrie Foundation.
