As we open the many doors to Jewish life, the Adath clergy team will be exploring what our participation in wedding ceremonies for multi-heritage couples could look like. Multi-heritage couples include one partner who is Jewish and one partner who comes from another background.
Because this is a direction we'd like to go, and we recognize there will be different perspectives, we'd like to hear feedback from you. We hope to learn together before a path forward is charted.
