We’re Here For You

Couples & Weddings

In a relationship where one of you is Jewish – and the other isn’t? We can help you connect with Jewish. Questions about holidays, lifecycle events or even about the day-to-day relationship challenges? We’re here with guidance – and have been sharing Jewish interfaith knowledge since 1999.

Families

What happens when Hanukkah falls on Christmas? How do you help your child feel included at Hebrew school when only one of you is Jewish? What’s a matzah ball? Regardless of your background or involvement in Jewish life, we have tools, guides, learning experiences and events – both virtual and local – designed by Jewish interfaith experts to help you feel more confident in Jewish.

Jewish Leaders & Organizations

We provide institutions and organizations with the tools and programming you need. We have a deep understanding of interfaith couples’ needs and can help you effect change from within.

Basics of Belonging: Building Jewish Communities in Which We All Belong (Atlanta) – Online

January 16, 2025 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm EST
At this critical moment in our national story, questions of “who belongs here?” and “who are the stakeholders who get to make decisions?” drive our national discourse. Join 18Doors, the Atlanta Jews of Color Council, and SOJOURN (Southern Jewish Resource Network for Gender & Sexual Diversity) for a conversation about how belonging and interconnectedness are at the core of the communities that we build – communities in which all can feel a sense of belonging, including interfaith couples of families, Jews of color, and LGBTQ+ Jews.
