I’m Jewish. My partner isn’t. Let’s talk.
Rabbi Oliver is running a new course designed to help young couples think about what a mixed-faith relationship means. It is also a brief and frank introduction to Jewish life. It’s aimed at people around 21-35, with no agenda other than honest discussion and learning.
You may be thinking about conversion, considering getting married, or you may not be considering either. The course is for all that you are and all that you bring to the relationship.
Starting on February 06, Rabbi Oliver is running the course over three sessions on Thursday evenings, with a Friday night dinner in Finchley, N3.
