Sunday, Nov. 8, 2 – 3:30 PM
Minnesota JCC Sabes Center Minneapolis
As the winter holiday season approaches, grandparents in multi-heritage and interfaith families may find themselves navigating a mix of traditions, expectations, relationships, and emotions.
Join other Jewish grandparents for a warm, judgment-free conversation about the joys and challenges of celebrating across generations and family traditions. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies for navigating holiday gatherings, supporting our adult children and grandchildren, and making room for multiple heritages and traditions—while staying grounded in our own Jewish values and identities.
Grandparents often play a special role in passing on traditions while nurturing family relationships. This gathering offers an aspect to reflect on that role and navigate it with intention and care.
Come share experiences, hear from others, and leave with new perspectives, practical resources, and intentions for supporting your family through a season of many celebrations.
This interactive workshop will be facilitated by Rabbi Jill Avrin of YourJewish Journey, along with Stacey Spencer and Sharon Rosenberg-Scholl of JFCS. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Presented in partnership with JFCS, YourJewish Journey, Halev Early Childhood at the J, and the Minnesota JCC.
