That would apply, in the most universal sense, to every relationship, because no two people have identical beliefs, even if they share a religious label. Yes, there are challenges that come with the differences, including misunderstandings, and the challenge of figuring out how to make decisions relating to religious practice as a couple or family unit that includes more than one set of beliefs and/or practices. But there is also stimulus to deep discussion, creativity, and bridge-building. My second book, The Interfaith Family Journal, is designed to help any and all couples/families figure out how to do this with grace and satisfaction.(less)

Hi Susan, Love the first chapter. So critically important. Very well written. But in the introduction on page xv is there a typo? "the percentage of adults in"Jewish" households self-identifying as "Jewish and something else" or as "partially Jewish" in the New York area shot up from 2 percent in 2002 to 2 percent in 2011." Can't both be 2%, right? Would love the real numbers...thanks!

Susan Katz Miller Hi Margaret. Yes, frustrating typo in a key sentence! You must be reading the hardcover (or a galley). It's corrected in the paperback. It should read…moreHi Margaret. Yes, frustrating typo in a key sentence! You must be reading the hardcover (or a galley). It's corrected in the paperback. It should read, "shot up from 2 percent...to 12 percent." Thanks for reading so closely! Susan (less)

The Interfaith Heritage of Zohran Mamdani

Last night, New York City chose the young, brilliant, and dashing Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary for Mayor. The City is now likely to have a new Mayor who is a democratic socialist, who speaks truth to Trump’s power, who stands up for Palestine, and who has galvanized the youth vote. His win is a rebuke to Trump, to those who try to paint criticism of the Israeli government as antise
