Please plan to attend our IFC-LI Open house & registration
Children's Classes immediately following the campus open house at 11pm on Sept. 30th.
New families are welcome to have their children try out our classes!
The Interfaith Community believes
that today's families can successfully include two religions in their
households. Our organization is a unique institution responding to the needs of such
families.
Today, over a quarter of all
American marriages are between people from different religious backgrounds. For
couples who do not wish to choose one partner’s tradition, the normal option is
to do nothing about religion or to find that it is a source of conflict.
The Long Island Interfaith Community has
specifically focused on serving Jewish-Christian families. The intermarriage
issue is particularly powerful in the Jewish community where large numbers
(perhaps as many as 50%) of Jews are now marrying people from other backgrounds,
primarily Christian.
