Community Rabbi Min Kantrowitz speaks about modern Jewish American family life in Albuquerque and beyond.
What’s a Jewish family today? What makes a family Jewish? We’ve come a long way from the norm of a Jewish mom and a Jewish dad living together, married, raising Jewish children.
That family constellation, of Morris and Sadie, with their children Abe, Marvin, Ethel and Frieda gathering around the Shabbos table for a kosher chicken dinner every Friday night, with occasional visits from Bubbie and Zayde who lived not too far away, is a rarity now. The talk will discuss issues of geographic diversity, ethnic diversity, religious diversity and great variety of familial configurations that make up the majority of Jewish families today.
