There
are over one million Jewish-Christian interfaith couples in
the United States. As the four couples featured in Jennifer
Kaplan’s documentary clearly demonstrate, partners who
do not discuss their religious differences and how they plan
to raise their children early in the relationship may be
greatly surprised by the intense feelings and the change of
heart that the birth of a child evokes. Some of the couples
interviewed are still wrestling with these issues. The
documentary, however, never loses its balance. The subject
may be emotionally charged, especially with each
religion’s heavy historical baggage, but Kaplan
consistently treats her interviewees with respect, allowing
the unfolding of what is essentially a lifelong process for
the individual and the family.back to
