Reform Jewish Outreach Boston
Reform Jewish Outreach Boston provides resources, programs and helpful information for interfaith couples and individuals exploring Judaism and the Jewish community.
We provide educational classes about Jewish spirituality, ethics and community designed for beginners, Jewish or not. We also offer a more in-depth class about Jewish history, traditions, holidays and life-cycle ceremonies.
Other programs specifically for interfaith couples are designed to strengthen understanding and communication about issues that are common to many interfaith relationships, such as raising children in an interfaith family, celebrating family holidays and staying close to both of the extended families. These groups are very supportive to both partners in an interfaith relationship and offer an opportunity to meet other interfaith couples and learn how they face these important, yet complex, issues.
Reform Jewish Outreach Boston is sponsored by the Union for Reform Judaism and supported by Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston.
