The Mothers Circle

Are you a mother raising Jewish children … but you’re not Jewish? Don’t do it alone!


The Mothers Circle Mini-Course provides FREE education and support for women of other religious backgrounds who are raising Jewish children. The course is coming to Congregation Beth Emek this fall, taught by Rabbi Katz.


This three-session course will focus on Jewish rituals, ethics, and the how-tos of creating a Jewish home. Come be a part of this warm and nurturing environment and feel empowered to take on the responsibility of raising children in Judaism. Mothers in all family constellations are welcome and participants do not have to be affiliated with a Jewish institution or have any prior knowledge.
