Interfaith Community for Jewish-Christian mixed marriage families in New York that celebrates the distinctiveness of both traditions, providing religious services and education for adults and children. It does not aim to blur the traditions or to discourage affiliation with church or synagogue.

A Special Evening for the Interfaith Community at AIG

On May 6th, 2010 members of the Leadership Council and Interfaith Community friends were invited a dinner celebrating the Interfaith Community. The dinner was hosted in the tower of AIG's historic building by AIG’s CEO, Robert Benmosche, who is also the father of our Board member and first Jewish educator, Nehama Benmosche.

The evening was attended by 50 generous members and friends of the Interfaith Community. It was a way to thank our donors and to encourage others to join our Leadership Council and support our work. Members from virtually all IFC chapters attended, reminding us of the wide community of families who have invested in our mission.

The evening’s program focused on this mission and our vision for the future.
Nehama Benmosche, who is about to be ordained as a rabbi, joined with Rev.
Richard Spalding, IFC Advisor and now the Chaplain at Williams College, in an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation about implications of interfaith families in an increasingly interfaith world.
