5. Parenting in an interfaith family

This week brings us a great opportunity to explore in the different ways in which parents in interfaith families balance the traditions and lessons of two religions and cultures.  Does your family observe all of the holidays of both religions or only certain holidays of each?  Join the conversation to discuss a range of issues around faith and family.
