If you're raising your children in the Jewish tradition, but are not Jewish, don't do it alone - join the JCC Mothers Circle.
The Mothers Circle is a free educational and welcoming program empowering non-Jewish mothers to create Jewish homes. Mothers in all family constellations are welcome and participants do not have to be affiliated with a Jewish institution or have any prior knowledge. The interactive curriculum for the sessions explores Jewish holidays, practices, rituals, and ethics while providing resources and tools for enriching Jewish family life at home.
The next session will begin on Sunday, Jan. 13, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., in the JCC North Preschool, 1985 Swansford Dr. (within St. Andrew's Church), in Dublin. Additional sessions tentatively are being planned on alternating Sundays at the same time and location; however, ongoing session dates and times will be determined by participant availability. Free childcare is available upon request.
The Mothers Circle is provided by J-Link, a JCC outreach program in NW Columbus, and supported by a special grant from The Jewish Education and Literacy Endowment of The Columbus Jewish Foundation.
