[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'd start out with checking out your local JCC (Jewish Community Center).  I'm in slightly the same position as your DH (although different facts) and I found that the JCC was the most welcoming place to families that are sort-of kind-of Jewish.  They have lots of kiddie activities for holidays, etc.

Jewish preschool is also a great idea!  That will be a natural way for the whole family to learn about Judaism and also celebrate holidays, because that's a big thing for kids of course.

You can also just take the plunge and celebrate Passover on your own at home. The nice thing about Passover is that it basically has a formula - the Haggadah.  Another thing you could do is just basically ask around the Jewish families you know and ask for an invitation to their Seder.  And there are also lots of community seders (you can find out through the JCC).

For your husband's own Jewish education, I'd shop around at the different synagogues in town. I'm not sure where you are, but one difficulty I had when I was considering this was indeed financial. The congregations that seemed more set up to do adult education were also the more expensive ones.  The cheaper congregations were more insular, because they were made up of people so secure & educated in their faith that they didn't need to do much development or outreach.  But I would not make any assumptions -talk to the rabbis any place that seems to be a good fit.
