Focus Group for Interfaith Couples

Event Date and Time: 
Sun, 09/19/2010 - 2:00pm - 4:00pm

InterFaithways wants to hear about your experiences in being part of an interfaith relationship. Please join us for one of three interactive focus groups to share about the challenges and benefits of being part of a couple who come from different faith and/or cultural traditions. 

On Sunday, September 19th at 2PM, InterFaithways Managing Director Gari Weilbacher will facilitate a focus group for couples in the home of Stacey Trooskin and Chip Finney, an interfaith couple living in Center City. The evening will begin with a short scene about interfaith relationships, performed by Theatre Ariel actors, followed by light refreshments and conversation.

On Saturday, October 2nd at 7:30PM, Rabbi Rayzel will host a focus group at her home in Elkins Park. The evening
will include dinner in Rabbi Rayzel’s sukkah, followed by Theatre Ariel, dessert and conversation.

Please share this information with all of the interfaith couples whom you know: the information gathered in these groups will
help InterFaithways determine what kinds of programs will best help interfaith couples living in the Greater Philadelphia area feel welcomed and supported in the Jewish community. Everyone's voice is important to us--we want to hear what
you have to say. The focus groups are open to LGBT couples as well as heterosexual couples.

And...InterFaithways will thank every couple who shares their experiences in one of the focus groups with complimentary movie tickets. 

These focus groups were made possible by a generous donation from the Rubenstein Foundation.

To RSVP for one of the focus groups, contact InterFaithways Program Associate
Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer at gabrielle@interfaithways.org or 215-207-0990.
