Couples & Conversation – Online

April 19 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm PDT

Being part of an interfaith/Jew-ish/multi-faith/however-you-define-yourself couple can be challenging, but you don’t need to find the answers alone. This online workshop offers a safe environment to work on creating your religious/cultural lives together. It is intended for seriously dating, engaged and newly married Jewish/interfaith couples.

Meet Rabbi Olshein

After spending four years as a rabbi in Texas and a subsequent eight years as the rabbi of Temple Israel of West Palm Beach, Florida, Rabbi Cookie Olshein returned to her beloved Las Vegas Jewish community in July of 2020. A lawyer in Las Vegas for more than 10 years before entering rabbinical school, she was ordained by HUC-JIR (Los Angeles), the Reform Movement’s Seminary, in 2008. Her professional passions include teaching adult education, leading congregational Jewish music, bringing awareness to social justice issues, creating interfaith opportunities for dialogue and worship and facilitating workshops on spirituality in everyday life. She loves learning with her 18Doors cohort and is excited to deepen her interfaith work through learning best practices to better serve the community.
