IS THIS A TYPICAL AMERICAN FAMILY?
My husband and I are Conservative Jews. Both of our sons are Orthodox, but they don't always agree. So I try to stay out of their "discussions" whenever possible. When necessary, I do step in and try to get them to realize that they're both entitled to their own beliefs. I sometimes find myself in a precarious position trying to maintain shalom bayit (peace in the family). But my sitiuation seems relatively easy to handle when compared with a family that I just heard about. The mother is Conservative but goes to an Orthodox shul. The father is Reform. One adult child is an athiest. The other married a Catholic.
