Description: Interfaith relationships are commonplace; the challenges that go along with them are not. An interfaith couple will have to confront tough questions, yet it's often difficult to find answers, especially when traditional sources of help--family, friends, clergy, and counselors--are unable or unwilling to understand the problems. From a Jewish perspective, this book guides interfaith couples at any stage of their relationship--from dating, engagement, and the wedding to the marriage--and the people who are affected by their relationship in any way, including counselors who work with interfaith couples and their families.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 131-139).
