About this listen

Join Ari and Anna for the latest episode of "Interfaithing" in which the hosts challenge the idea that interfaith families are problems to solve—instead, they explore how these relationships can become sacred unions and sites of spiritual creativity.

Topics addressed include:

  • Moving beyond "problems to manage" toward celebrating blessings and sacredness

  • Interplay of differences and similarities through powerful metaphors of coins, trees, and blossoming rosebushes

  • Ritual innovation through a unique Shabbat-Agape blessing combining Jewish and Christian traditions

  • Understanding syncretism as a source of vitality rather than dilution, keeping spiritual "roots" strong and flourishing

  • The art of transforming challenging moments into opportunities for deeper connection and creative ritual

PLUS: An inspiring taste of a new Shabbat Agape liturgy for a Friday night interfaith meal!!
