Past Events
Intermarriage—Let’s Talk About It
On the North Shore, more children are being raised Jewish in intermarried families than in in-married ones. To meet the needs of the Jewish community, intermarried families must know that at Shirat Hayam they will be welcomed, understood, and supported. How do we get there? Following up on Rabbi Michael’s Yom Kippur sermon, this fall we offered several opportunities to discuss this topic. We will continue the conversation.
Shabbat (Saturday), December 2 • 11:25 AM Rabbi Michael’s sermon
