The makeup of today's modern Jewish family is vastly different from the "typical" Jewish family of a few decades ago. Statistically, one half of today's marraiges are interfaith unions. This modern phenomenon has created a rich tapestry of issues that many families face and sometimes struggle with on a day-to-day basis.

Such questions are asked by many people as they try to make the best decisions for their own unique households and special circumstances.

Reform Jewish Outreach is a nationally recognized organization that aims to welcome interfaith families into the Temple community and provides a forum for dealing with the many social and personal issues with which they are faced. Within a non-judgmental and exploratory environment, families and individuals are encouraged to learn not only about Jewish observances and customs, but about one other. We share experiences, feelings, concerns and beliefs...all within the context of our often indifferent modern society. It is not our aim to convert. We act as support group, sounding board, facilitator and friend.
The KKBE chapter of Reform Jewish Outreach is an enthusiastic and growing part of the local Jewish community. We host a calender filled with workshops, guest speakers, holiday gatherings and other wonderful social happenings year round. If you are concerned with interfaith issues, we would like to get to know you. Our local organization invites and encourages you to take part in our many scheduled events. Together we can move forward and benefit from fellowship and understanding.
