Interfaith Families
Interfaith Families at Dorshei Emet
We welcome you!
Congregation Dorshei Emet welcomes and celebrates interfaith families as part of our diverse community. We have people with faith backgrounds other than Jewish, people exploring Judaism or of no faith background as part of our congregational family. We all come together for services, to study, to share in holiday celebrations and participate in lifecycle events. We believe that interfaith families enrich our community as we all can learn from each other's unique experiences.
Interfaith families are invited to become full participants and active members of Dorshei Emet, and non-Jewish spouses are invited to serve on committees and participate in leadership. As a Reconstructionist synagogue we live our egalitarian values by embracing the participation of all types of families and partnerships.
Some people who experience our community make the choice to convert, and we have an active Paths of Torah class and support this process. However, for those who choose not to convert but who desire to be active members of our community, we welcome you and are grateful for your presence. Life is a journey, and we hope that each member of our community can find the place that feels right for them!
We are committed to making you feel welcome at Congregation Dorshei Emet, and would love to connect with you. Please stop by for one of our services or programs, or contact us for more information. Welcome to to the community!
Interfaith Marriage
We are proud to celebrate interfaith partnerships and welcome interfaith couples into our community.
Additionally, Rabbi Boris is a member of the Rabbinic Cohort for 18Doors, an organization supporting interfaith couples and providing resources for them to connect with Jewish life. He leads workshops and is an activist for interfaith inclusion in Montreal and Canada.
