Abstract:

Because all outreach programming is still innovative and experimental, it is crucial during the community planning process to be attentive to the boundaries of Jewish life that such efforts challenge, to establish a common language of discourse about intermarriage, to involve a broadly representative planning constituency, and to resolve turf questions. A variety of planning processes and programs in Jewish communities around the country illustrate the guidelines and challenges in planning outreach to the intermarried.
