A young Lenape Indian girl observes and reflects on the small, important ways her family today, and her ancestors generations before, celebrate the cycle of seasons. Today when a Lenape Indian girl ventures to the stream to fish for shad, she knows that another girl did the same generations before her. Through the cycle of the seasons, what is important has remained: being with family, knowing when berries are ripe for picking, listening to stories in a warm home. Told by Traditional Sister and Contemporary Sister, each from her own time, this is a book about tradition and about change. Then and now are not so very different when the shadbush blooms.

The Interfaith Family Journal is an invaluable resource for couples and family members practicing different religions (or none). Interactive exercises and creative activities help interfaith families decide how they want to honor their histories, cultures, and beliefs in ways that nurture joy, creativity, and empowerment. With space for writing directly in the book and suggestions for engaging in deep conversation, the book becomes a keepsake of the journey toward each interfaith family''s unique practice and identity.

A book on the growing number of interfaith families raising children in two religions Susan Katz Miller grew up with a Jewish father and Christian mother, and was raised Jewish. Now in an interfaith marriage herself, she is a leader in the growing movement of families electing to raise children in both religions, rather than in one religion or the other (or without religion). Miller draws on original surveys and interviews with parents, students, teachers, 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, and for the clergy and extended family who want to support them. 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. Being Both heralds a new America of inevitable racial, ethnic, and religious intermarriage, and asks couples who choose both religions to celebrate this decision.

In May of 1960, Addie Katz, a vivacious, 4?11? redhead, from the Bronx, was living in the small village of Hinsdale, Massachusetts when she entered an essay contest sponsored by Letters Abroad, Inc., a pen pal agency affiliated with President Dwight D. Eisenhower?s People-to-People Program. Eleanor Roosevelt was one of six prestigious judges who chose Addie?s essay as a winner and sent her to visit her pen pal, Suzue Matsubara, in Kyoto, Japan. It was a life-changing experience for the 35-year-old housewife and mother of three. The story of Addie?s life, focusing on this ?Encounter With Japan,? is told by her eldest daughter. Susan weaves together strands of her mother?s moving writings (prose, poetry, trip journal), fragments of Suzue?s lovely letters, and snippets by others whose lives Addie touched. The finished fabric is an inspiring tale of a remarkable woman and a heart-warming cross-cultural journey. Life affirming, is the way Addie faces the challenges in her life. Five years after the Japan trip, her marriage of more than 20 years ends. The indomitable woman holds her family together as she becomes a single, working mother. In her 40?s, Addie returns to school, embarking on another journey which leads to academic honors, a full fellowship from Columbia University, two Masters, a Ph.D. at age 59 and an exciting career as Director of Special Programs at Columbia?s Granduate School of Journalism. The book?s text is interspersed with black and white photos, many by permission of Takeyoshi Tanuma, the talented Japanese photographer whose photos appeared in a Life Magazine article about Addie on May 30,1960. To see it google ?Mrs. Katz in Kyoto.? Of special mention is the beautiful color section.
