Clergy who have written sermons or formulated educational programs on the subject will offer advice and suggestions. That's something research has shown. An array of religions will be represented at the event, including Baptist, Muslim, Buddhist, Episcopalian and Methodist. Among Jewish leaders attending will be Bay Area Rabbis Ted Alexander of Congregation B'nai Emunah and Sydney Mintz Congregation Emanu-El, both in San Francisco, and Melanie Aron of Congregation Shir Hadash in Los Gatos. Two years ago, at a similar conference in Santa Clara County, far fewer Jewish leaders attended than are expected to participate this time, Berman noted.
