My Nonprofit Reviews

JYW was recommended to me from friends also in a commited interfaith relationship. We are both "unaffiliated" with any traditional religious institution, and while we each have strong objections to organized religious movements, we share a desire to connect to our spirituality, religious identities, and find a way to live more in accordance with these values. The workshops presented by Rabbi Brian helped my partner and I to clarify the role religion plays in our lives, what we want each other (and arguably, ourselves) to know and understand about our religious identities, what was important to us and why, essential values and emotions connected to religious traditions, and what we wanted to pass down to a child. I feel JYW has helped me understand and reconcile some of my conflicting "experiences" as a Jewish woman, share what really matters to me as it relates to my religious heritage with my partner, and have a place where both me as an individual, and now my growing family can experience the teachings of Judaism in a very accessible, non-threatening, meaningful way. HOORAY! :-)
