Navigating Hanukkah in Multifaith Families: A Grandparenting Conversation

For Jewish grandparents in multifaith families, the early winter holiday season can be magical when we celebrate Hanukkah traditions, old and new, with grandchildren.

JGN and 18Doors lead a lively holiday conversation with Rabbi Rebecca Joseph that affirms grandparents’ importance as Jewish role models and guides and helps them connect with warm, loving feelings even in uncomfortable or conflicted family situations.

Topics include:
• When Hanukkah and another religious or cultural holiday fall on the same date.
• Talking through different views of holiday celebrations with grandchildren and their parents.
• How grandparents can bring their authentic selves when the style and scale of their own Hanukkah celebration significantly differs from what grandchildren experience at home or with their other grandparents during the winter holidays.
• Creating Hanukkah celebrations that delight when grandparents can’t be together with their grandchildren.

The Jewish Grandparents Network engages, educates, and celebrates grandparents as an essential influence in Jewish family life. We welcome grandparents from all backgrounds and traditions and embrace the diversity of today’s Jewish families.
