find children and infants
to love and raise Jewishly.
These multicultural
children often come with prior religious
backgrounds, strong cultural heritages and
physical characteristics unlike their adoptive
parents. Slowly, they are beginning to
change the fabric of American Jewish fami-
lies.
Our cover package (pages 6-16) examines
how families are raising their children to be
comfortable with Judaism and also proud of
their past. Editorial assistant Sharon
Luckerman brings you their rich stories in a
comprehensive package that looks at the
rewards and challenges these families face.
