Raising Jewish children when you weren’t raised Jewish yourself can bring both joy and plenty of questions. Mother’s Circle is a welcoming community for non-Jewish women raising Jewish children in interfaith families. It’s a place to learn, ask questions, share experiences and build friendships with other women on a similar journey.
Through monthly gatherings, participants explore Jewish traditions, holidays, rituals, worship and lifecycle events in a comfortable, supportive setting. No prior knowledge of Judaism is needed, and you do not need to be a TRS member to participate.
Along the way, Mother’s Circle offers something just as important as what you learn: a community of women who understand the experience of helping create a Jewish home and raising Jewish children.
The Mother’s Circle meets monthly from September through May. Participants do not have to be members of TRS or have any prior knowledge of Judaism. Click here to visit our Events webpage to find the next Mother’s Circle event.
Finding Mother’s Circle was a game changer for my experience as a TRS member! Not only did I meet other moms with a similar story, but also found a comfortable space to learn Jewish culture and traditions, while forming lifelong friendships. I am forever grateful to Mother’s Circle for enriching my family’s connection to Judaism and our community.
Being a part of the Mother’s Circle has transformed my experience raising Jewish children. Not only have Donna and the women taught me a lot, but I have developed strong relationships and feel very much a part of the Rodef community
