Director Dawn Kepler [email protected]

Welcomes interfaith and intercultural families. Offers workshops, lectures and panel discussions to explore interfaith and intercultural issues. Provides support and guidance for couples with questions about interfaith relationships. Spiritual, but not religious? Agnostic or atheist? All are welcome. Negotiating couples’ issues, raising children, finding a community and making friends are all part of creating a successful interfaith, multiethnic and sometimes multiracial home.

Also supports adults who grew up in interfaith homes who may not have had a Jewish education, and offers an opportunity to explore Judaism and connect with others with similar backgrounds. Young adults navigating intra-family dynamics can join peer groups for self-discovery.

A bimonthly email offers events and resources to members of interfaith families.
