Since 1982, Chicago Sinai Congregation has opened its hearts and doors to couples confronting one of the most challenging dilemmas of family and faith - the reconciliation of deep personal love with the significant spiritual, religious, and cultural differences that can be inherent in interfaith marriage. Sinai has been at the forefront in responding to this modern challenge. It offers interfaith couples compassion, understanding and a unique human perspective that embraces those of all faiths, and seeks to provide a spiritual home to Jew and non-Jew alike.
While others may view Interfaith Outreach as a concession to assimilation, we do not view the matter in this light. At Sinai, we believe that the deep faith of our members, the personal warmth of our community, and Sinai's strong Jewish loyalty and ethical ideals offer the most compelling evidence of the meaningful role that Judaism can play in the lives of interfaith families.
