About Interfaithing: Why families can embrace two faiths under one roof
Interfaithing is a podcast for and about Jewish & Christian interfaith families, where we explore the question: why families can embrace two faiths under one roof. Whether you are part of an interfaith family or you're exploring and interested in how different faiths interact with one another, this is the space for you! Each episode of this first season explores and unpacks stories related to common myths about and expressed toward Interfaith families. So join us on this journey to help spread the Torah and gospel of interfaith wisdom far and wide.
