Build community with other couples of different religious backgrounds as we consider how we build the home we seek. Our homes aspire to be so many things: a warm physical structure, a site of comfort, love and romance, perhaps an educational space for children, a welcome table for guests. How can we do this? Unlike our professional lives, where we have received education, training, and mentorship, building a home is something we often do without sufficient reflection. It is a task that is at once sacred and daunting, joyous and excruciating. Using the wisdom of traditional Jewish texts as a starting point, we will consider how we might use our different values and aspirations to build something partners might share together.

This space is built for couples of different religious backgrounds in committed relationships (broadly defined). Please make sure that both members of the couple register for this class. No background is necessary for this series, just a willingness to read, think and talk to people who are also building homes.

This class will meet on Monday evenings in person, 7:00 PM-8:30 PM, May 6-June 24.

If you have any questions, please contact Rabbi Atara at acohen@edcjcc.org.
