"Our Father" is not that uncommon in Jewish liturgy: "Avinu Malkeinu" from the High Holidays immediately springs to mind.  ("Avinu" is Hebrew for "our father") The tune for that prayer was what my daughter said she hummed softly so that other Jewish students could hear her when a high school teacher said that the concept of God as a father was invented by the Christians.

Dear Leslie: Great article!

I hope you'll also extend your outreach to other adult children and grandchildren of intermarriage, who find it very difficult to enter and remain in the Jewish communty.
