Mothers Circle

The Mother’s Circle
Presented in partnership with the Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis (JFCS)

Are you a mother raising Jewish children… but you’re not Jewish? Don’t do it alone! The Mothers Circle is a free educational and welcoming program empowering non-Jewish mothers to create Jewish homes. Mothers in all family constellations are welcome and participants do not have to be affiliated with a Jewish institution or have any prior knowledge. The interactive curriculum for the sessions explores Jewish holidays, practices, rituals, and ethics while providing resources and tools for enriching Jewish family life at home. The Mother’s Circle is a program of the Jewish Outreach Institute. This program will be facilitated by Barbara Rudnick, Program Manager for Family Life Education at JFCS.

This program will meet the first Monday of each month beginning October 3, 2011 from 7–8:30 pm.
Mother’s Circle will be held at the Sabes JC and is free of charge. For more information or to register, please contact Barbara Rudnick at brudnick@jfcsmpls.org or 952.542.4825.
