Bring your favorite drink and join us as Rabbi Denise Handlarski shares wisdom from her new book

The A–Z of Intermarriage

Contrary to the view that intermarriage is a crisis for Judaism, The A–Z of Intermarriage reveals that intermarriage can be a force for good in the lives of Jewish families and communities. Rabbi Denise Handlarski, an intermarried rabbi, wrote The A–Z of Intermarriage as part story, part strategy, and all heart, as well as a coming together of religious source material, cultural context, and personal narrative. She shares practical tips and tools for couples and families, creating the perfect “how-to” manual for living a happy and balanced intermarried life.

Whether you are intermarried or considering intermarriage, have family or friends who are intermarried, or are simply interested in learning more about Jewish approaches to life, learning, and love, this program is for you!
