If you, a loved one, or a friend is directly involved in an interfaith relationship, or if you counsel those in interfaith relationships, this essential guide will help answer your questions and ease your concerns. An ideal gift and family reference, this is practical support for families who want to explore and engage in a Jewish life while respecting the heritage and traditions of those they love.
