About this site Interact Parenting Community Lifecycle Holidays Practice Beliefs

Parents: You are invited

to join a unique Internet community. Embark on an exciting journey to discover the meaning of Jewishness for you and your family.

For this three-month long learning adventure, a special group of 25 people will gather on-line. We’ll delve deeply into issues of Jewish identity, beliefs, and traditions -- their significance for us and our children. And we’ll explore a Jewish experience that enriches the spiritual dimension of our lives. An experienced Jewish educator will guide the study and aid in shaping discussions. As part of Mishpacha, you’ll help create an ongoing and vital community of people who are talking together, studying together, and sharing important life experiences.

This innovative program has already received rave reviews in Wired News, The New York Jewish Week, and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

Apply now, as we are currently selecting a diverse group of families to join our next session. Parents with any level of Jewish background and observance are welcome.
