About

Our Tribe & Joy is a blog by and for Jewish parents, in New Jersey and beyond. Think of us as a toolbox for raising happy, healthy Jewish families in a high-pressure world. What’s bothering you? Thrilling you? What’s missing in your life and how can other readers of the blog help? What’s that amazing find you want to share with others – the great read, the fantastic bargain, the must-have item? This is a blog for all of us – an ongoing conversation about raising Jewish kids, living in relationships, and negotiating the craziness (and pleasures) of life in the ‘burbs.

Our Tribe & Joy is published by the New Jersey Jewish News.
