Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:36:05 -0700

Why do Jews react against Christian holidays? Can the anxiety be eased? Will children raised celebrating Christmas and/or Easter feel Jewish when they grow up? Join other interfaith families from BIJ and around the Bay Area to explore these issues. Drinks and noshes provided. Bring your friends!
