SUMMARY:Are You There\, God? It’s Me\, Grandma: Interfaith Grandparenting In Children’s Literature
DESCRIPTION:In 1970\, Judy Blume published her well-known coming-of-age novel Are You There God? It’s Me\, Margaret.While the book is best known for its descriptions of puberty and early adolescence\, it also portrays Margaret’s experience as the child of an interfaith couple\, including the spiritual tug-of-war between her Jewish and Christian grandparents. In the decades that followed\, many new stories have emerged about multifaith and multicultural families. Come explore what Margaret’s grandparents and other fictional characters can teach us about the promise and the pitfalls of building our own multifaith and multicultural families. Brown bag lunches (kosher style) are welcome! \nRabbi Leah Berkowitz is a Philly-based freelance teacher and writer. She currently serves as the Senior Jewish Educator for Hillel at Temple University\, and also teaches in many local and national settings. She recently completed the Rukin Rabbinic Fellowship with 18 Doors (formerly Interfaith Family) and is the author of three picture books and the co-author of middle-grade midrash collection Maybe It Happened This Way: Bible Stories Reimagined. \nSign up here.
