Raising Kids
One of the questions that’s most challenging in a Jewish-Gentile relationship is, “How will we raise the kids?” Fortunately, you don’t have to choose one culture or the other—more and more families are choosing to be “both.” How that looks is unique to you. We’re here to support you on your journey!
For the Parents
How can you raise your children with a strong sense of identity? For mixed-heritage couples, it’s not always easy to integrate family history with personal faith. But there is hope for finding your path forward, and this article shares some of our best resources for doing that!
Kids and the Holidays
Holidays and holy days might invoke ideas of family unified around a table, but in an interfaith home, they can be tricky to navigate! What do you both love about your holidays? What childhood traditions meaningfully added to your celebrations? We’ve got resources and coaching available to help you discover whether your traditions could have more in common than you think!
Growing up Both
Youth & Family Ministries is a specialized team within Jews for Jesus. If you’re raising kids who are “both,” this network is an amazing resource to have handy! Youth and Family Ministries can connect you with summer camps, Messianic Bible studies, B’nei Mitzvah tutoring, and other resources.
Tough Topics
When kids have one Jewish parent and one non-Jewish parent, antisemitism can hit them in many different ways. And like many other topics, it can be challenging to dive into, but so important.
So, we took the opportunity to glean some wisdom from two Youth & Family Ministry leaders. See the tips Ilana and Rebekah share to help guide this conversation with your kids of all ages.
