Reviews: The A-Z of Intermarriage
"Whether or not you are Jewish or religious, or even married, if the subject of intermarriage interests you, you'll be extremely fortunate to pick up this book and discover Rabbi Denise Handlarski as your guide to this complex and important subject. Handlarski's wisdom, warmth, knowledge, and humor shine throughout and may very well empower you or a loved one to embrace a new, healthier understanding of what it means to be part of a modern Jewish family."
Greg M. Epstein, Humanist Chaplain at Harvard and MIT
"Who better to guide a deep exploration of the joys and challenges of intermarriage than Denise Handlarski, one of the most creative and passionate rabbis on the scene today? This book, a rarity in that its author is herself an intermarried rabbi, is as fun to read as it is informative.
The A–Z of Intermarriage compellingly demonstrates that the phrase 'proud, intermarried Jew' was never an 'O' for 'Oxymoron.' It illustrates powerfully that the phrase belongs under 'A' for 'Awesome.' It is just the book we need as we live through, and participate in, the transformation of Judaism for a new era."
Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg, Judaism Unbound
"Finally! The A-Z of Intermarriage is an accessible guide for interfaith couples and their families to navigate issues with love and a generous dose of humor. Both practical and entertaining, this daring book will help all who read it and the many generations to come."
Dr. Keren R. McGinity, Director, Interfaith Families Jewish Engagement, Shoolman Graduate School of Jewish Education and Jewish Studies, Hebrew College
