Many grandparents are eager to share their Jewish traditions and values with members of their families and feel great joy and satisfaction when they do so. They think back wistfully on the Jewish traditions of their youth and long to share their family stories. However, some grandparents may feel that they don’t have a strong enough Jewish background. Others may lack the confidence to share religious and cultural values in ways that are meaningful for grandchildren. Grandparents with grandchildren being raised in multi-faith households recognize that they need to be thoughtful when sharing Jewish traditions.
In this presentation, David Raphael, co-founder of the Jewish Grandparents Network, will share the lessons he and his colleagues have learned about the nuances of thoughtfully sharing Jewish traditions. Additionally, David will talk about grandparents’ “secret sauce,” the special gifts and perspective they can offer in not only sharing Jewish traditions but elevating them as well.
