Interfaith marriage discussion

Presented by the Catholic-Jewish Dialogue

By Donna Poach and Dean Garfinkel, CJD members

The debate of interfaith unions has been around longer than Tevya and “Fiddler on the Roof.”

We invite you to join us for a discussion on interfaith marriage: exploring the opportunities for cultural and spiritual growth Sunday, March 17 at 2:30 p.m. Can it actually strengthen religious beliefs and observance for both faiths?

Clergy from both the Catholic and Jewish faiths will join us to explore the viewpoints of their respective religions, followed by a brief Q&A session.

Immediately following the Q&A, attendees will be invited to participate in roundtable discussions of the following questions, as well as any related questions anyone wishes to discuss.

• Is acceptance by immediate family a necessary part of a solution?

• Has your family had any experience with this?

• Can acceptance improve numbers of “the faithful” for each religion?

• Are Judaism and Catholicism cultures that can successfully coexist in a household?

We hope this time together will enrich and enlighten us as we explore interfaith marriage at a time in our cultures when the number of the “faithful” appears to be diminishing.
