[quote=Anonymous]I'm a pretty devout, liberal Protestant, and my husband was raised mostly Jewish (father Christian, mother Jewish) but has not been active in the religion since he was a teenager. We are expecting our first child and have agreed to raise the kids in a liberal Presbyterian church but also have them attend some Jewish Sunday School and services and celebrate Jewish holidays so they can learn about their dad's religion. Are there synagogues out there that would be okay with us attending as an interfaith family? We are on Capitol Hill but are willing to travel - may be moving to Cleveland Park in the distant future. I'd like to go to some services with the rest of the family but definitely won't participate in any activities/rituals/traditions that would be inappropriate for a non-Jew. Also, I know that many (all?) synagogues operate on a dues-based membership structure, which I am unfamiliar with. I assume we probably won't be joining a synagogue since I am not going to convert, but is it okay for us to attend without being members?[/quote]
