Susan Katz Miller grew up with a Jewish father and Christian mother, and was raised in Reform Judaism. Now in an interfaith marriage herself, she is a leader in the growing movement of families electing to raise children with both religions, rather than in one religion or the other (or without religion). Miller draws on original surveys and interviews with parents, students, teachers, rabbis, and clergy, as well as on her own journey, in chronicling this grassroots movement. Being Both is a book for couples and families considering this pathway. Miller offers inspiration and reassurance for parents exploring the unique benefits and challenges of dual-faith education, and she rebuts many of the common myths about raising children with two faiths. For all sides of the discussion over dual-faith families, Being Both presents insight into why more couples are choosing to raise their children in both religions.
