Great piece. Thanks, Carla! In this day and age, I think we are ALL interfaith families – and in the broad sense that is very true (who doesn’t have at least a non-Jewish uncle/cousin, etc)? Learning how to keep what is sacred to your family sacred while appreciating and honoring what is sacred to others is what it’s all about. Kol Hakavod!

Even families where everybody is Jewish can seem like interfaith families given the wide spectrum of Jewish observance. I guess that would be intrafaith families!

Great article, Carla! I agree 100% with your philosophy of including and embracing the whole of our families.

Dear Carla:
Applaud your sensible thoughts!
Many people in the Half-Jewish Network that I lead are grandchildren of intermarriage with similar complex heritages.
Cordially,
Robin
