Judaism for Two

While most books about Judaism strive to strengthen relationships with community, extended family, children, or with one's own spiritual path, Judaism for Two addresses the ways Jewish teachings can enhance and strengthen committed relationships. Couples at any stage will benefit from this new perspective on Jewish life. Drawing from the metaphors, concepts, and values inherent in the Jewish holiday cycle, Rabbis Fuchs-Kreimer and Wiener address topics such as communication, forgiveness, anger, play, sex, loss, and change. They identify those aspects of Judaism that speak to the complexities of living as a couple and the role Judaism can play in a family composed of two adults. Couples (secular and religious, Jewish and interfaith), couples? therapists, clergy, religious educators, and those interested in relationships and the renewal of religious life will find this book useful and informative.
