Interfaith Families Personal Stories Of Jewish Christian Intermarriage By Jane Kaplan 5 Star Review

Interfaith Families: Personal Stories of Jewish-Christian Intermarriage by Jane Kaplan Excellent Vignette On Difficulties Of Interfaith Marriage Christmas or Hanukkah? Bris or baptism? Church or synagogue? As the number of Jewish-Christian marriages in America continues to rise, couples find themselves searching for ways to navigate the choppy waters of interfaith families. Here, couples in Jewish-Christian marriages describe their experiences and reveal intimate details of their lives as members of these unique families. Without being prescriptive, this book offers examples of the successes and failures, struggles and triumphs of such religiously mixed families, shedding light on new ways to approach everyday situations and major life decisions. Personal Review: Interfaith Families: Personal Stories of Jewish-Christian Intermarriage by Jane Kaplan This is an amazingly well presented collection of interviews that were conducted with people that were involved in an interfaith marriage. The author breaks down the interviews into those who are raising children Jewish; raising them Christian; raising them with both religions; other alternatives; and lastly, those marriages where one spouse converts to the religion of the other. Although each interview ranges from a few pages to about 8, the full range of emotions come out which show the hurt from the family of the spouse; sometimes the hurt from the spouse; and the frustration at trying to be even-handed and finding out how difficult it really is. Although I am of the camp that feels that interfaith marriage can't work, I would consider this required reading if only for the range of situations that are covered and how each couple handles them.
