VIDEO: Southern Jewish Voices meets Maurine and Jacob Halpern

This is the fourth episode in the second season of our popular Southern Jewish Voices program that’s made possible thanks to funding from the Alabama Humanities Alliance and the Ted and Marjorie Levite LJCC Fund at the Birmingham Jewish Foundation.

On February 28 Margaret Norman from Temple Beth-El interviewed Maurine Halpern, a Catholic who is the interfaith advocate at Temple Beth-El in Birmingham, and her husband Jacob, who is Jewish. Hear about their first meeting with a rabbi, how they’ve resolved to raise their children, how they negotiate holidays, and what advice they might have for other interfaith couples.


Next up: Beth Scherer-Smokey and Martin Stein from the Knesseth Israel leadership team on March 20.
