New Publication from B'nai B'rith and JOI: The Ripple Effect

JOI, one of the youngest of American Jewish organizations, has teamed up with the Center for Jewish Identity of Bınai Bırith International, the oldest Jewish organizations in the country, to produce a new publication called, ³The Ripple Effect.² The booklet is designed to convey the complex feelings of interfaith couples and their families in their encounters with the Jewish community. The publication seeks to pave the way for interfaith couples seeking a more welcoming atmosphere in the organized Jewish community. Based on a series of group interviews with couples and their Jewish parents, the booklet is sure to be of value to both people who are going through the experience themselves as well as for Jewish communal professionals who are looking to provide interfaith couples with a more welcoming experience in the Jewish community.
