INTERFAITH 101

NEW SERIES BEGINS
OCTOBER 18, 2009

CRC offers a series of informative interfaith workshops, including time for discussion and getting to know each other.

We will meet on the third Sunday of every month beginning October 18 from 12:30 - 2:30 pm. This series will be conducted by Rabbi Susan Talve, Rabbi Randy Fleisher, and Interfaith and Outreach Coordinator Maggie Duwe.

Topics Include:

October 18 - What does my religion mean to me? Why is religion important in my life? Why is religion important in our life as a couple?

November 15 - Holidays and the December Dilemma. How do we celebrate and respect each other’s holidays throughout the year? And specifically for this season, how do we honor both Hanukkah and Christmas?

December 20 - The “C” word. What about children?

January 17 - Lifecycle events. How do we commemorate and honor our own wedding, births of our children, coming of age, and death, mourning, and burial?

February 19 - Shared Shabbat Dinner. We will share a Shabbat Dinner together at CRC and explore the questions: How do we celebrate Shabbat in a way that includes the partner of another faith and wisdom and words from other paths? How do we make Shabbat meaningful for our family?

March 21 – A panel of interfaith couples who have been living these issues. They will tell their stories and answer questions
