Description: Introducing My Faith and My Community: The Jewish Outreach Institute Guide for a Christian in a Jewish Interfaith Relationship by Kerry M. Olitzky, Rabbi Kerry M. Olitzky A lively, inviting, and accessible way to begin a new understanding of Judaism. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Interfaith relationships are commonplace. Some research estimates that over 50% of Jewish people now marry people of other faiths. Several books are available to answer practical questions about celebrating holidays raising children or preparing kosher meals in an interfaith relationship but often these books skip over the most basic problem faced by interfaith couples - understanding the religion of their partner. INTRODUCING MY FAITH AND MY COMMUNITY seeks to introduce readers to Judaism in easy-to-understand terms and language. Whether they are married to or dating a Jewish man of woman or the parent or sibling of someone in an interfaith relationship readers will find a thorough and accessible guide to the basic tenets of Jewish Faith. Examples speak directly to the reader as one who stands on the periphery of Jewish culture and is only now beginning to move into the circle of Jewish life and faith. Author Biography Rabbi Kerry M. Olitzky is the author of Making a Successful Jewish Interfaith Marriage: The Jewish Outreach Institute Guide to Opportunities, Challenges, and Resources. He is executive director of the Jewish Outreach Institute and is well known for his many inspiring books that bring the Jewish wisdom tradition into everyday life.
