Interfaith Families Project of Greater Washington

We joined the community last fall and it has been great for our family. This is a place where we can both participate fully and neither feel out of place, not enough, or like a guest.
Rabbi White and Reverend Julia are fabulous spiritual leaders who embrace our family for what it is — blended. We have enjoyed the Gatherings and Sunday School for the kids. The teachings and services include traditions from both sides without alienating one group or another. Hearing the Rabbi do the Easter sermon was something I will never forget.
The community not only accepts and understands the choices we’ve made for our family, but has lived them and gives us a place to really own them.
An added bonus to having Sunday School directly following services, is the Adult education groups that are held, which I consider to be an added value, and spiritually enriching.
To put things in perspective, neither my husband nor I went to church or temple with any regularity mainly because it was something we weren’t completely comfortable doing together. IFFP has not only given us a place to do that, but now we attend almost weekly.

IFFP is an independent community of interfaith families and others committed to celebrating their Jewish and Christian traditions. Led by Rabbi Harold White and Rev Julia Jarvis, IFFP meets at Einstein High School in Kensington, MD.
Our programs include, weekly gatherings, adult discussion groups, an Interfaith Sunday School, a Teen group and a variety of special events.
Since joining with my son in 2007, I have loved every moment. If you are looking for a spiritual community, IFFP may be for you!
