As the number of interfaith families connecting to Jewish communal organizations continues to grow, so too does the need to support them at all lifecycle moments – from birth to death. For interfaith families, specific questions and concerns may arise about how they will be supported around death and dying. This webinar will identify some of these questions and suggest best principles for addressing them in your community – from pastoral support to cemetery considerations and beyond.

As Jewish communal professionals, we come to our work with open hearts and minds, hoping to welcome as many people into Judaism as we can. However, we all bring with us unconscious biases we’ve learned over time, especially around what it means to be Jewish. In this webinar, 18Doors’ Director of Professional Development, Tema Smith, will help you begin to unpack these biases so that you can look at your work of engaging interfaith families with fresh eyes.
