Interfaith Family

This is the story of how I, a half-Mexican, ex-evangelical Christian, came to embrace living a Jewish life as part of a Jewish family.

For children in interfaith families, clarifying the role of religion in the family dynamic is important.

I looked forward to the lights that adorn houses and streets in celebration of the holiday, not to mention watching Christmas specials on television and getting extra days off work to be with family. However, things changed last year when my family and I joined our friends to help them decorate their Christmas tree.  

Being the Jewish part of an interfaith family isn't without its challenges. Especially when, like me, being the Jewish influence in my family is because I converted after I was married.
