Sponsored by the Jewish Outreach Institute,"The Mothers Circle" is an eight-month, bi-weekly educational course for non-Jewish mothers who have agreed to raise their children Jewish within the context of Jewish intermarriage. The program provides free education and support in raising a family in an unfamiliar faith. Lois Shenker, local Jewish educator and personal life coach, will be the program’s Portland facilitator starting in November. Attend a "Mothers Circle" information session to learn more.
