We now have interfaith families, families which contain Jews by Choice, divorced families, blended fam ilies, single parent families, and shared custody arrangements as well. How can teachers deal with these circumstances in the course of the school year with the great sensitivity they require and without compromising the integ rity of their schools or the material they are expected to cover? The facilitators for these ses sions will be Temple Beth El’s Rabbi James M. Bennett, Ar thur Kramer, education direc tor, and Susan Lepow, program director. The presentations will include film and role playing situations and address issues which pertain to all grade levels from preschool through high school. The workshop is free to all teachers whose schools are members of CAJE; lunch is $3. Future workshops are scheduled on Jan. 9 and Feb. 6. For more information contact Arthur Kramer, 366-1948, or Lenora Stein, CAJE director, 366-5007.
