Series: Interfaith Marriage
A few years ago, Beth El joined other synagogues in southern Westchester for a lecture series with scholars from the Shalom Hartman Institute exploring questions of boundaries and belonging in the Jewish community. As the rate of intermarriage increases and Jewish identity takes new forms, it remains vital to engage thoughtfully with how these changes shape our communal life.
Through this year’s Open Beit Midrash series, our goal is to create opportunities for our community to engage these questions from multiple perspectives, including halachic (legal), pastoral, and communal.
We strive to approach these questions with openness, compassion, intellectual rigor, and a grounding in Jewish values and Halacha, Jewish law.
