The LGBT
Interfaith Parents Circle, a new community for LGBT interfaith couples who are,
or are considering, raising Jewish children, will host a family playdate at
Plummer Park in West Hollywood, CA on Sunday, June 29th from 10:00am to
11:30am. Families will have the opportunity
to meet other LGBT interfaith parents raising Jewish children, and learn about
upcoming free programs from the LGBT Interfaith Parents Circle. Snacks, games,
and childcare will be provided.
The LGBT
Interfaith Parents Circle is a new community being piloted in the Los Angeles
area thanks to a generous grant from the Jewish Community Foundation of Los
Angeles. The program will provide free information sessions, classes,
resources, and events for LGBT interfaith couples raising, or considering
raising, Jewish children from throughout the Los Angeles area. Created by Big
Tent Judaism, a national trans-denominational non-profit based in New York City
that seeks to open the tent of the North American Jewish community for all who
wish to enter it, the program is the first of its kind in the country. Sessions
cover topics such as creating a Jewish home, navigating Jewish life cycle
events, and celebrating Jewish holidays as an LGBT interfaith family.
In addition
to the June 29th playdate, the LGBT Interfaith Parents Circle will host another
playdate on Sunday, July 20th (location TBA), as well as two family information
groups, one on Monday July 7th and one on Monday July 14th, led by LGBT
Interfaith Parents Circle facilitator Rabbi Heather Miller.
