In Jewish Education
One of you is Jewish, the other is
not. Together, the two of you created
a beautiful child. Now he's of an age
to begin religious education and
you've got a decision to make. Listen
to what some adult children of inter-
marriage say:
•"I'm half and half and on the

•"It's not like being Republican or
Democrat. Every day, something aris-
es that reminds me that I'm split".
Let your child grow up to be
that special someone.
