Myth #1 (Part 2) - Judaism & Christianity Don't Mix, They're Just too Different!

Interfaithing: Why families can embrace two faiths under one roof

Ari and Anna continue their conversation on the myth that Judaism and Christianity just don't mix and thus cannot be embraced under the same roof. Like in Part 1, particular attention will be paid to the challenges faced by Jewish and Christian clergy alike (i.e. rabbis, cantors, ministers, and priests) in addressing the needs of interfaith families who want to engage with both traditions.

Topics addressed include:

1. Finding clergy who will not "fudge" their traditions;
2. How embracing the values of paradox and humility can help clergy embrace interfaith families;
3. The practical needs of faith communities to welcome interfaith families;
4. The meaning of "Shabbat" in the Jewish legal tradition, the meaning of "Circling the Wagons" in Christian history, and much more!!!

This episode includes stories from Kate DeAngeles of the Interfaith Book Group based in NYC and Benjamin Segal of the Interfaith Community (IFC) of New York (www.interfaithcommunity.org).
