Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on February 10, 2013.
A 2D twitch puzzle shooter with a retro feel and a hard sci-fi plot. Can you defeat the Metacell and save the universe from destruction
This project's funding goal was not reached on February 10, 2013.
We have a lot of content for you to dig into, so check it out! If you've got questions and you can't find the answers here, shoot us a question! There are also additional resources beyond this kickstarter campaign where you can discover more: the website link, link to dl the game manual and the beta itself.
During our adventure on Kickstarter we will be doing some animated shorts called the Imaginary Awesome Studio. These shorts are just us having some fun. These guys will come out as time goes on. In the current season we go to Kickstarter to fund Metacell. There will be several more episodes coming out during the span of the Kickstarter so check them out! This season of the Imaginary Awesome Studio is done in stop motion.
The third episode of Metacell Update, an animated series that will be airing frequently throughout the Kickstarter, giving deeper insight into the project. Each episode will cover a topic ranging from: what Metacell is, the characters and story, the planned game modes and pretty much everything else. This episode takes place several days after Metacell Update Episode 02 - An Exploration into Metacell. Caitlin, Chris and the Metacell get to chat with the High Paladin Dominic Moore in an exclusive interview and find out what happens to me in the next episode of John's Metasaga - Journey.
Short Explanation:
Metacell, the first installment in an epic five-game saga, is an immersive 2D twitch puzzle shooter with a hard sci-fi plot. Each game in the saga has its own distinctive gameplay tailored to its position in the story arc. Our galactic hero and his crew fight to save the universe from devastation!
Story Explanation:
Metacell is set in an alternate reality in the year 2272. This reality is comprised of two sides: the primeverse, where existence is structured and logical, and the metaverse, where things simply are with no rhyme or reason. High Paladin Dominic Moore and his crew's leave is cut short when he is called to answer a distress signal from Zion, a top secret research facility located within the metaverse. The distress call warns that the Genesis Project, a recent experiment that attempted to synthesize a hybrid creature with both meta- and prime-organic material, has gone horribly wrong. Moore must plunge his ship and his crew straight into the heart of danger to contain this creature, the Metacell, and prevent it from crossing over into the primeverse and tearing it to shreds.
The Metacell is a creature created as a result of the Genesis Project that combines the unlimited potential of the unpredictable metaverse with the stability and constancy of primeverse organics. It was born a single-celled organism, but something went wrong and allowed it to breach its containment and expand in size at an alarming rate. Now, astronomically large and comprised of both prime- and meta-material, the Metacell is the equivalent of a god. As it nears maturity and the beginning of its reproductive cycle, the Metacell and its potential offspring pose a threat to the very existence of the primeverse.
The Imperium's most powerful warships, Judgment-Class Cruisers are hand-designed and custom-tailored to their Paladins. Before space travel or even the age of machines, when the order of Paladins was just begun by Charlamagne, Paladins were always accompanied by their faithful steeds. Now, thousands of years into the future, this tradition has been carried through the centuries to the current Paladins whose "steeds" have become the safest, smartest, most powerful mode of transportation in the empire. When a JCC is commissioned, the Paladin devotes 5 years to the process of hand-designing and building the JCC. During this time they are introduced to the navigator and soul of their ship, a technophile Spirit-born who integrates with the ship itself as well as forming a permanent empathic connection to the Paladin.
High Paladin Dominic Moore
A human paladin and one of the Imperium's greatest warriors, the duty- and honor-driven Moore lives to serve the Imperium. When he isn't out saving the world he can be found on his home planet playing with his son and watching romantic flicks with his loving wife.
A technophile Spirit-born courtesan, she is the second in command of Dominic's crew. Being a technophile Spirit-born allows her to meld with Dominic's ship, a Judgment-Class Cruiser, and pilot it. Mirra is a bit catty and she's a stickler for rank, so she and Chef have never gotten along.
The Judgment-Class Cruiser's artificial intelligence system. Unlike most ship AI's that simply tend to daily duties and manage the ship, C.A.R.I. is a master strategist and the master of arms of the Judgment-Class Cruiser. Her true talents appear in live combat and in the training sessions for Dominic's crew in which she creates and runs training scenarios.
With the Fanboy's Wet Dream pledge package, this could be you, dear reader.
Metacell is a twitch puzzle shooter, so it incorporates puzzles, traps, and shooting. The game is in the match-three genre, so players must make matches of three or more genes of the same color to remove them from the Metacell. In order to make these matches, players circumnavigate around the Metacell shooting randomly generated genes from their ship.
Core Gameplay Elements
This isn't your Mom's game of Bejeweled though; we've added in some bonuses and challenges as you progress through the game.
Some of these bonuses include:
Traps have the possibility of being triggered each time a player shoots an gene into the Metacell:
The current beta that everyone has access to is just the beginning! This Kickstarter will generate even cooler elements to the game. We covered these additions in the video, but here they are again in a fancy, expensive-looking list!
Worldbuilding! The world of the game is incredibly detailed. We've worked on this universe over the course of 8 years, so to say that it's a fully-realized world is an understatement.
Gameplay! We've combined the classic simplicity of match-three games with challenging additions that transform the genre. And plan to add even more twist to the current beta.
Awesomeness! The game has a fantastic plot that works with our chosen game genre. The story is richer for the gameplay, and vice versa. It's addictive! The speed of the game, combined with the story, is incredibly engaging for both casual and constant gamers.
Epic Space Metal! When you first listen to our completely original, completely awesome soundtrack for Metacell by the most excellent and talented Space Vikings, it may actually be physically painful for you to stop listening. It's that good.
Space Vikings - Odin's Nebula
Saga based! It is not just one game with one story, it is one epic story told over 5 games that will be a unique immersive experience from one to the other.
"Metacell beams pure awesomeness straight into your brain cage!"--John, our fearless leader.

The Band
Space Vikings is Products for Robots' epic space metal band that crafts the elegant sound that is Metacell. Internet dwellers, space metal is the most magnificent genre of music ever to grace the world with its existence, and Space Vikings is the epitome of all things space and viking. Words cannot describe the majesty of their sound, but a close approximation might be "!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!." You can get a taste for it with the sample track, but you'll have to listen to the whole album to truly understand, which means you should probably invest in one of our lovely pledge packages.

Of course, if things don't quite go this well we have a backup timeline:
Games don't just grow on trees, internet dwellers. Games grow out of the flesh and blood of their creators, feeding like ticks until they are thoroughly ripe and ready to drop off and into the world. To keep our flesh alive and blood flowing, we need money. That's why we've come to you!
What we're planning to use the money for:
Finishing the game! We plan on adding all the good stuff we mentioned before to make this game perfect! The following briefly shows how we plan on doing that:
A direct quote from our fearless leader: "This is the game series I always wanted to play. Since no one else is awesome enough to make it, I decided to make it myself. I want everyone to play my awesome game because what is the fun in making an awesome game if there aren't awesome people to play it with?" Wise words from a wise man with a limited adjectival vocabulary. It's the game you want, and it's the game you deserve, people.
If you direct your gaze to the side and top of the page, you'll encounter a detailed list of the rewards for each donation level. If you direct your gaze downward and scroll, you'll get the same list but with more details and some mighty fine pictures. Overall, we want to use your donations to bring you into the world of Products for Robots. We don't want to waste your money attempting to send you monogrammed vacuum cleaners or crystal chandeliers with Metacell dangly bits, so most of our rewards are digital with only some limited physical rewards. When you donate to us, you become a part of the team, and our pledge packages reflect that idea.
$5 - [I've Got Five On It] Closed-Beta access and a high five! Our high fives are pretty legendary, you know. I once heard that Chris's high fives severed a man's arm.
$8 - [Metacell Digital Soundtrack] Only interested in awesome space metal music? You'll get a digital copy of the Metacell soundtrack. Time to rock out!
$10 - [Metacell Digital Edition] You will get Closed-Beta access and the basic digital copy of the game upon release. This provides instant gratification as well as a future gift. Smart thinking!
$25 - [Metacell Kickstarter Edition-Digital] You will get Closed-Beta access to the game, a digital copy of the game, and a digital copy of the soundtrack upon release. The super cool thing about this version of the game is that it comes with a unique Kickstarter-exclusive game mode which will change the way you see Metacell FOREVER, you lucky thing.
$35 - [All I Got Was This Awesome Shirt] Pfff...who cares about epic space metal, a rad video game, or a super spectacular saga? Just give me one of these bad-ass t-shirts. You get to pick from 1 of the 4 shirt designs [Products for Robots, Space Vikings, Metacell, or The Imaginary Awesome Studio]. If you live not in the United States of Awesome, tack on an additional $15 so we can ship you your schwag.
Whoa! Hold on a minute! Those shirts are mighty fine! Did you have your eye on more than one? If you answered with an enthusiastic yes to that question, we can help you out! When you go to enter your donation amount, simply add an extra $35 (per extra shirt) to the price of the package you were planning to get. Make sure you tell us that the extra money is for a shirt! Here's some example math; you want that kick-ass high five for $5 and an extra shirt with a hot unicorn on it: 5 + 35 = 40. Congratulations, math wizard, you just negotiated an extra shirt and a high five with your 40 bucks!
$50 - [Metacell Members Club - Basic] You will get Closed-Beta access of Metacell 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and digital copies when they are ready for release 7 days before anyone else. This is a Kickstarter-only opportunity and is only available during the campaign.

Also, you get a physical copy of the game, soundtrack, and game manual in a box, just like the good ol' days.

Your version of the game will include the EXCLUSIVE Kickstarter game mode. This is a Kickstarter-only opportunity and is only available during the campaign. Oh, did we mention the physical edition is signed by the team? Yeah, now we did. Sorry non-US of Awesome residents, you got to add an additional $15 for international shipping.
$500 - [Metacell Fanboy Club - Ultimate] Kickstarter-exclusive, you will get Closed-Beta access and super nifty physical editions of Metacell 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 upon their completion. In these fantastic collector's editions, you will find a hard copy of the game, the soundtrack, the game manual, and 3 additional keys that you can give to your friends, sell on ebay, or make 3 different accounts to troll people with. You will also gain early access to the game 7 days before its general release. You will also also receive A SPECTACULAR BONUS GIFT OF YOUR CHOICE! You will get an e-mail a few months before release asking you to pick 1 of 4 super cool gifts to go in your collector's edition.
$1,337 - [PfR VIP Club Member] Kickstarter-exclusive, you will get 4 digital copies and 1 physical VIP edition of everything PfR makes from now until the end of time! This also comes with free VIP access to any PfR event (including Space Viking shows).
$5,000 - [I've Got 5,000 On It] You get the best high five ever. Like, imagine if Jesus came down from heaven to give you a high five; it's exactly like that. Oh, and pretty much all of the lesser pledges.
$8,008.13 (Limited 1) - [Hehehe BOOBIE] You get a picture of an amazing rack! Worth every penny.
$9,001 (Limited 1) - [THIS PLEDGE REWARD IS OVER 9,000!] You get to be a special guest in the next Imaginary Awesome Studio animated short. John will make you into a puppet, Chris will animate you, and Caitlin will make you say really clever things. How cool is that? Super cool, that's how cool.
$10,000(Limited 4) - [Fanboy's Wet Dream] You get to become a main character in the Metacell Saga. John will design you, Chris will draw you, Tom will program you, and the world will play you. Neat, huh? Time to give Mario a run for his money as the best game character ever.
What everyone who didn't jump on board the Metacell train will pay:
Clearly you're making a good decision here. Now all aboard the Metacell Train! The next stop is Win Town, and the population is you (and us, of course).
So games are hard to make. Sometimes, when we are crying in the shower, we like to think about these things:
1) Have you ever seen an artist talk to a coder?
2) Adobe crashes more times then the Russians did in the space race.
3) We make everything from scratch, like Betty Crocker. Cooking was her only job because starting from scratch is REALLY difficult and time consuming.
4) What if our office catches fire and everything we've ever created is destroyed?
5) If this campaign crashes and burns, our self-confidence will drop into the negatives and we will all have to live in a cave and eat mushrooms forever.
6) Car crashes are 88.6% more likely when you're sleep deprived from designing a game (statistics may or may not be based on wild conjecture).
7) Someone could snatch our baby game from its cradle, make off with it, and raise it as their own!
8) We could drown in the ever-growing sea of indie game developers and no one will even know we exist. Is anyone even reading this? Hello?!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Paging Through: Mysteries
My parents are snowbirds (when the snow flies, so do they) so they often read this column after it has run. They've recently returned to their Brookfield nest, and my mom wasted no time influencing this month's recommendations. After finishing Susan Elia MacNeal's "His Majesty's Hope" (Bantam, $15), the third in an engrossing WWII series, my mom said, "You need to recommend this and the author needs to write faster."
Maggie Hope, the series hero, has dreamed of becoming a spy ever since she was a "typist to Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and then a "maths tutor to the Princess Elizabeth" at Windsor. As the Nazis tighten their grip across Europe, Maggie gets her chance. Thanks to her secret training (including lessons from a "Glaswegian safecracker"), her keen intelligence with codes, and her "big stones" (as the Brits say), Maggie is recruited to an elite group of spies to infiltrate the offices of the Nazi hierarchy. »Read Full Article

Two Worlds 2
Stuck in chapter one
Sablehawk posted on Jan 17, 2011 6:43:52 PM - Report post
Hi everyone,
To see my issue I've had to list it in the spoiler below. Spoiler:
I'm stuck in chapter one with the escort yerske mission. When I go into the sewer (either before or during the mission) all the doors are locked and it gives me the circle with lock and red background so I can't even attempt to pick.
I've looked through my log and except for going to the 4th tomb (Qaa) I have no other open quests.
Anyone got a clue of what might be happening? I'd hate to have to uninstall because I can't go any further.

In Defense of Mother's Day
Mother's Day is coming, in case you haven't stepped foot in a commercial district recently. With it comes a whole host of emotions. You can hear them in casual conversations and read about them all over the blogosphere. Today, I want to put a stake in the ground in favor. In three strokes, let me try to convince you that Mother's Day is worthwhile.
Reason # 1: It's a freebie for most Interfaith couples (or maybe couples of any stripe).
One reason you likely came to this website is because you are questioning how to make it "work" as an interfaith family. For all the joy of our religious holidays, building any kind of tradition different than the ones you grew up with can bring anxieties, bumps and challenges. Here's a holiday that doesn't belong to any religion, at least not in its observance today. It is a bunch of Americans getting together with families or friends and celebrating the mothers in our lives. For most of us, it will be a holiday both you and your partner grew up with, even if you grew up in different corners of the country with entirely dissimilar faith perspectives. So take this gift of a holiday that you hopefully can celebrate equally with all of your families.
Reason # 2: It's not all about Hallmark.
I get the sentiment that we shouldn't orient ourselves (or our spending) to something created by a corporation. Or, I should say, I sort of get it. First, if you don't like the Hallmark stuff, celebrate the amazing true stories of the women who gave Hallmark the idea—activists Ann Jarvis and Julia Ward Howe. Second, perhaps less inspirationally, I ask you to consider this from my personal history. My mother took advantage of the opportunity to celebrate almost every holiday she could get her hands on. Having grown up that way, well, it's not all that bad. For those of us who are lucky enough to have the means to afford the basics, is there really a better way to spend your spare change than on a small gesture for someone about whom you care? Is there any danger in heeding the calendar as a reminder to spend time with the person or people whose mothering means a lot in your life? Maybe Hallmark popularized this holiday, but I hold them harmless. Sometimes we need reminders to do the most basic but important things.
Reason # 3: It takes a village to raise a mother.
Four years ago, my mother passed away just before Mother's Day. There are no words for the awful of that week. I suspect that the confluence of these two dates will always bring me a little pain. I appreciate there are people who feel all kinds of loss on Mother's Day. I understand some of it well—anger at losing a cherished relationship and frustration for the things you never had time to share. I also know there are some kinds of loss I can't entirely understand—loss for unsatisfying relationships with mothers who are alive but aren't in our lives, bereavement for mothers we never got to know, deep grief for children we didn't get to parent. I grant all of those grievers license to feel through their Mother's Days however they need.
But for those of you still open to my treatise, I offer this. My success with my girls is in part due to how I have been mothered through my parenting journey. I cannot celebrate my mother how I wish I could. But I can celebrate mothers I hold most dear. My own list of people to celebrate includes my grandma, the glue of generosity and love that holds my family together; my mother-in-law, who has taken me even closer under her wing since I lost my mom; my mother's dear friends, who have tried to lessen the pain of not having her around; and my aunt, who upon my insistence can be the grown-up when I fumble through a skinned knee. I applaud my sisters who are mothers, who are both just plain amazing people and are always teaching me new ways to approach motherhood.
There are a lot of other people I want to list, but you get the idea. Mother's Day is a chance to recognize the hard work of mothering and give a high five to the people whose motherhood you applaud. However it works for you, I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
Community Comes Together for Baby's 1st (Interfaith) Passover
A funny thing happened when I had a baby. People in my neighborhood whom I had never spoken to started speaking to me. They had seen me walking around Brooklyn since I myself was a baby. They had spotted me on my bicycle, buying candy and I'm sure some had seen me in my various teenage phases of trying cigarettes and dyeing my hair. Since I live three blocks from my childhood home these same people have now watched me carry my daughter around the neighborhood from the day she was born. Now though, they speak to me.
This week is Passover week and I am shocked to find that in every store I enter with my daughter strapped to me I am asked, "What do you need? What are you looking for?" Sales people pull things off the shelves for me and when I make my final purchase, my cart filled to the brim with potatoes, horseradish, parsley and all of the other Passover delights, the cashier says, "We will deliver it to you by four o'clock, you live on Avenue M., right?" They know me and have known me my whole life, though we have just now exchanged words.
The sense of community in my neighborhood during Passover is overwhelming. At night when the first Passover seder begins one can walk down any block and look into people's windows to see the same table settings, the same Passover plate and the same book we all read from. This year Passover is extra special for my family because my daughter and my twin nephews are new editions to the table and we are passing down the traditions of my family through them.
My significant other, Adrian, had to work which was unfortunate. Being from a Mexican Catholic family he appreciates both food and family. But he joined my mother and me in the morning as we prepared the matzah kugel, marinated the brisket and chopped onions. My daughter watched and squealed.
Our food delivery came at four o'clock as promised and my mother said, "We've never gotten delivery from Avenue M." I just pointed to the baby as if to say "Now it's a different ball game, Ma."
It's been a long time since we've had babies at the seder table in Brooklyn. My mother usually does the first seder and my aunt does the second seder in Long Island. But this year I cooked the entire first seder with some help from my mother. I am a new mother and so I wanted to do the cooking. It is an enormous amount of work because a lot of people come to our seder and it made me appreciate my own mother and how hard she worked every holiday.
Because my daughter is from an interfaith, multi-lingual family we have a special hagaddah for her. That's the book we read from on Passover. Her book is in Spanish, English and Hebrew. It was special to share the Passover story with my daughter and Adrian so that they can understand what we celebrate and why.
That's another thing about my neighborhood. My interfaith family has become the latest gossip. Sometimes it's hard to break the barriers of age-old tradition and make room for new tradition. I understand that when I walk through Midwood with Adrian and my daughter, people stare. People whisper. People can be cruel. But the lesson of Passover is that we should never let ignorance lead us. The only way Moses parted the Red Sea was because he believed in what he was doing and ignored everything negative around him.
My daughter is a light, a path to a new world. There is a Jewish proverb that says, "A little bit of light pushes away a lot of darkness." It is this light that compels the people in my local grocery stores to speak to me for the first time in 30 years. It is this light that wins over the many losses my family has endured over the years. My daughter and my nephews are new lights who shine at the Passover table and ask for the first time, "Why is this night different from any other?"
Do We Need an Interfaith Community?
Where do Jewish-Christian interfaith families turn to find a community of like-minded souls? A church and a synagogue? A third-space option such as Unitarian Universalism, or an interfaith Sunday school that includes both traditions? What about muddling through without religious community, either due to living largely secular, busy lives or an inability to find out what might work best?
These questions have been on my mind lately as my family has participated in a tiny, fledgling interfaith group in Chicago's North Shore. The group started enthusiastically last summer with a planning meeting and several families, only to see attendance decline over the course of the fall.
What happened to the initial enthusiasm? The group met monthly, alternating between a local synagogue and Episcopal church, both of which congregations had histories of friendliness to intermarried couples and families. We gathered for an hour once a month, with crafts for our children and conversation about holidays for the parents.
The idea—to learn about holidays based on the liturgical years of Judaism and Christianity—seemed promising at the start. Holidays offer one of the easiest entrees into an unfamiliar religious community, so the topic held promise.
Yet over the course of the fall, participation drifted away. My family attended eagerly at first, but at the second meeting, and then the third, my children wondered where we were going. Who would we see? Which church was this again, and had they been there before? Why couldn't they stay with their parents, and why did they have to go off and do crafts with a babysitter they couldn't remember? I sympathized with their questions: Even with nametags, I didn't feel confident that I remembered the other participants from month to month.
One afternoon in December, both of my kids had colds and felt exhausted from their swimming lessons earlier that Sunday morning. My husband wanted to stay home and cheer on his favorite football team in their run for the playoffs, and knowing how he felt about his team, didn't want to drag him away from the important event.
As it turned out, only one family attended that afternoon, a new family looking for an interfaith community. No one else, except the clergy, were in attendance to greet or welcome them.
What had happened? The group started with perhaps a conflicting set of goals. Would the group offer a "third option" for interfaith families along the model of The Interfaith Union School in Chicago or Washington, D.C.,'s Interfaith Families Project? What would be the role of the two clergy who offered so generously of their time? Certainly, they each welcomed all the families to their own congregations, a Reform Jewish congregation and a liberal Episcopalian parish.
The success of groups like this require families like mine to think about these questions, even if obliquely. What kind of interfaith community do we want? Do we want a third space option through which our children can learn about both traditions? And wouldn't this option be convenient: we hardly have the time or clarity to set down roots in one congregation in one tradition, much less in a third?
For families already involved in other congregations in the area, the idea that they could also find both time and emotional energy to invest in a new "third space" option alongside other religious commitments boggled my mind. If any family can find time for possibly three religious groups, plus the myriad other activities with which modern family life consumes itself—from work to school, friends, sports, extra-curricular activities and other options unexplored—my family wasn't one of them.
In fact, my family's consistent participation in organized religion remains a question mark. While our daughters dance on Saturday mornings and swim on Sundays, what sometimes seems to be a slippery slide into being religious "nones" dances around the edges of our schedule. As much as we love our children, we parents long to do other things with our mornings: visit museums, go on bike rides when the weather warms, and as we make this list, finding religious community slips farther down on the list. Our dance steps falter and we crash headlong against the difficulty of doing even most of what we would like to do, much less doing it all.
I don't know what will happen to this particular fledgling interfaith religious community. So many variables come into play as each family decides what to do with their own lives, schedules and priorities: to participate in religious community, or not participate at all? How to fit in what can seem like just one more activity, one more commitment among the many deserving possibilities that need our time?
No one family's answer will fit for all, but perhaps, with luck and effort, enough similarities will emerge and a way forward will coalesce for a critical mass of interfaith parents and children.
How has your interfaith family answered the challenge of religious community in a busy world?
Healing the World is Our Every Day
Last Spring, I had the privilege of representing my synagogue at a remarkable social justice conference organized by the Reform Movement's Religious Action Center, called Consultation on Conscience. Highlights included three days of world leaders, Jewish and not, educating the attendees about social justice issues, workshops on making a difference in our communities, luncheons for idea sharing between congregations and lobbying on Capitol Hill.
I flew to Washington, DC, without the kids, explaining that mommy was going to be learning about different ways to help people with a whole bunch of others from synagogues around the country. They didn't flinch knowing I'd be away for half a week, because by now, my kids have figured out that their mom's DNA is made up of living tikkun olam, "healing the world" – and that it was going to make me happy to be able to teach them what I learned and hopefully as a family put it into action. Little did they know how much of an impact this conference would have on all of us, almost a year later, or what we'd ALL learn by doing.
I came home energized, with a renewed passion for social justice, which is what these types of events are supposed to do. There was an expectation that in return for my attendance at the conference, I would implement some kind of program or event at my synagogue. What has followed throughout the summer and into the school year has been a comprehensive three-pronged tikkun olam program once a month in place of regular Hebrew school classes involving education, action and advocacy for grades 1-6.
I'm so proud to watch it grow each month, as we explore topics together as families that the kids themselves asked to work on; things like hunger and homelessness, animal welfare and the environment. These topics are explored a step further by looking at them with a Jewish lens, and what Judaism teaches us about how to react, question and more. What makes this truly unique is that we're doing this specifically as a FAMILY program, at a Reform congregation where the membership here in Maine is probably at least 60% interfaith families (it truly may be higher), and EVERYONE participates.
It's a special thing to see parents and children (as young as 6 to 12 years old) discussing difficult issues, trying to come up with solutions, learning together and recognizing that no matter if Dad is Jewish and Mom is not, or Grandma and Grandpa take the kids to Hebrew school because neither parent feels closely connected – that there's a place for everyone at the table because we're all in this world together. We remove politics from the picture and let the kids be the stars of the show. Their voices are heard loudly and clearly as we give the kids the chance to speak their minds and be heard, in a world where adults often tell kids how they should feel or what they should think. While the Jewish concepts bring us together, it's the issues the kids care about deeply that unite us.
After a recent monthly program that they were particularly excited about, Roxy and Everett (my kids) asked me if Matt (my boyfriend who is not Jewish) knew what tikkun olam was. And I had to answer them honestly and say no (at which point they freaked out at me and thought it was crazy) because it occurred to me that not once over the course of our relationship have I explained to him what's become a pretty central concept in our family. It's not like he doesn't know that I go to my synagogue every couple weeks and work on putting together the activities for these programs. It's not like he doesn't know that I'm involved in planning this stuff. It's not like he doesn't know that volunteering and helping others is something the kids and I do. It's not like he doesn't know any of these things about me or the kids. But I've never said to him the words tikkun olam, and I'm not quite sure why.
The kids seem to create their own separations between what is their "Jewish" life and what is their "secular" life, knowing that often times things bleed together. I have a harder time creating a separation, because so much of my life is formed by my Jewish identity, yet when it comes to my relationship, the kids think it's clear cut. Sometimes I still think I'm living in a weird gray area where I wish I didn't have to explain things – to him OR to the kids. In those moments I step back and remind myself of what happens during those programs, when the families are coming together from different backgrounds and religions and are still one cohesive unit. And I remind myself, this is truly what family is: learning with and about one another as we grow together. Tikkun olam isn't always just healing the giant world, it's also healing our OWN worlds as we find ways to explain ourselves one another.
Jewish Mourning: A Lesson for My Newborn
When I was 8 years old I had a good friend who lived around the corner from me. His name was Nachshon. We took the same school bus to school and at the Orthodox Yeshiva we attended we were in the same class. I went to his house often after school to play video games or just to hang out. He rarely came to my house. My family was not religious enough for his family even though we had a kosher home and my parents tried hard to educate us in Judaism. My parents were liberals. They had been actors and met on stage. They believed in finding out about oneself both inside and outside of the religion. For this reason the Jewish community at my Yeshiva rejected many of my parents' beliefs and therefore my brother and I were rejected as well, though in a subtler manner.
I was allowed into Nachshon's home where the rules of kosher/non-kosher, religious and non-religious were in tact and could not be stirred. He was, however, not allowed into my own home. At 8 years of age I didn't care. He had a Nintendo and my brother and I did not. He had better toys, better games and carpeting in his basement. He had what I didn't have, or so it seemed.
Then something happened to Nachshon, or rather something happened to his father. One day Nachshon didn't show up to school. In the middle of Torah study that morning our teacher told us all to put on our coats, we were going somewhere. Once outside we boarded a yellow bus. The bus twisted and turned through the sooty Brooklyn streets until we were close to my own neighborhood. We ended up in front of Nachshon's residence.
I had been to his house many times before but never with my whole class. There were twenty of us: the girls dressed in long skirts and long sleeved shirts, the boys with yarmulkes, black pants and white shirts. We looked like a sea of exclamation points shuffling through the small doorway. The house was dark and the mirrors had been covered with black fabric. There were low boxes on the floor in the living room for the family members to sit on. It was then I realized what we were doing there. We went, as a class to sit shiva. Shiva is the traditional Jewish mourning period. It usually lasts for seven days and family members sit on the floor or on low boxes, they cover their mirrors and in my neighborhood they leave the door open for visitors to come and go. It is a "mitzvah," a good deed to sit shiva. As a child it is terrifying.
Nachshon looked small in his own home surrounded by guests from all over the neighborhood. His father had been sick for a long time. No one knew any of the details. He died of some kind of cancer and now the closest family members sat around the living room on low boxes reciting his name and weeping.
That year I stopped going to Nachshon's house to play. He didn't speak to me in school. I heard that his mother wanted him to hang around only very religious Orthodox Jewish boys and girls. I was not in that category. The next year I was kicked out of the Yeshiva and I didn't see him again for a long time. Then one day something happened to me, or rather something happened to my father.
I saw Nachshon again four-and-a-half years later at a shiva for my own father. He showed up on the front porch with sad eyes, dressed in a black suit, his yarmulke a patch of crimson velvet on his head.
"I'm so sorry about your father," he said. It was the first time he had ever been to my house. Death had brought him there. Death, sympathy and compassion had overcome my "not Jewish enough" family. Though he came on his own. There was no school bus, no long skirts following his lead. He came alone. It was the last time I ever saw him. I felt as if his presence was an apology.
Today I have a newborn. She is Jewish by her mother, Mexican-Catholic by her father. I wonder what she will feel as she grows up in the neighborhood I grew up in. Her father speaks a different language and her mother wears rock t-shirts every day of the week. Does this make her less Jewish? Will parents be afraid to send their children to our house? How will this make her feel? What will I say when she says "Why?"
I will tell her I lost a very close friend a long time ago because of fear and judgment. I will tell her something broke between us because the community that surrounded us did not know how to bind us closer together in a time of mourning and instead shifted us apart.
I would like my daughter to grow up understanding the customs of each religion. The way Catholics and Jews deal with death is of equal importance. But more than this I want her to make her own decisions about religion and I want her to be able to turn to spirituality in times of great distress. I want her to have courage the way Nachshon had when he defied the community and walked up on my front porch to pay his respects. I will explain to my daughter one day that in that one fixed moment in time we were who we were as Jews but more so as resplendent human spirits.
Our Jewish Catholic Mexican American Newborn
I grew up in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. My parents were liberals who met in the theatre where they had been professional actors. My father was a Brooklyn boy, born and raised in Crown Heights. My mother, a Baltimore native who said she always wanted to marry a Brooklyn boy, and so she did. They moved to Midwood, a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. They wanted to be close to my Grandmother and to buy a house and to teach their children my brother and I the importance of our Jewish heritage. My father wanted us to always remember where we came from.
My parents were not religious but we celebrated every High Holy day. Every year it is a tradition to walk with my mother one mile to the Orthodox synagogue that is around the corner from where my Grandmother used to live. The walk to synagogue has always been part of my tradition with my mother. Our synagogue separates men on one side and women on the other. I never saw myself as less than anyone else, although I know there is much debate about a woman's role in Judaism. I always knew I was a Jew. I knew inside my heart what that meant and I spent a lot of my childhood defending my differences to those from more devout households.
We were not a religious household by any means. My father drove on Saturdays; my mother got her hair done on Friday nights. We were traditional Jews who knew all the stories from the Torah, but I wore jeans and my brother played electric guitar and learned every AC/DC song by heart to play on his Gibson SG (the same guitar Angus Young had). My friends would often invite me over on Shabbat so that I could turn on their electronic appliances for them, something they were not permitted to do on the Sabbath.
Fast-forward to today, and my life partner, Adrian, is Catholic. He was born in a small village in Mexico and left his home to work at 13. He came to the United States at 15, and when he left his village, his mother tied a scapular around his neck that had been blessed by the local priest for guidance, safety and luck. He has never taken it off.
When times are difficult Adrian directs his prayers to the spiritual mother of Mexico, the Virgin of Guadalupe. She is well known for having appeared to a poor village man named Juan Diego. No one would believe Juan Diego when he said the Virgin appeared to him but Guadalupe urged him to go back and convince the village people. When he returned to the village, and a crowd formed around him, he opened his cloak and 100 red roses fell out. There, on the inside of the cloak was an apparition of Guadalupe. The great Basilica in Mexico City was built where the Virgin is said to have revealed herself.
As a Jew and a deep believer in Kabbalah and all things mystical, the stories of the Torah and the stories from the Bible are the lessons I would like to pass down to the next generation. It is the message of each of these stories that make the traditions of both religions so rich. On the 12th of December Catholics from Mexico celebrate the Virgin of Guadalupe's birthday. Here in Brooklyn we light Hanukkah candles. Both traditions celebrate life.
Adrian and I recently had our first child, a baby girl. She already hears the coos of Spanish, English and Hebrew echoed throughout our household. At two months old she has already witnessed her mother burn Christmas cookies, light the menorah in the wrong direction and forget to buy half the ingredients to make tamales on a trip back from the grocery store. But, in all the chaos she is witnessing traditions new and old. Our baby is named after my two Grandmothers and we recently had a baby naming ceremony for her at the East Midwood Jewish Center. It was an incredible day because my family was meeting my partner's family for the first time. We were all there together from different cultures and religions celebrating this new and precious life.
I have always wanted children and I was always worried about it never being the "right time." It was never the perfect situation, there was never enough money or the right job or the Jewish boy I was "supposed" to marry. Finally one day after having been with Adrian for three years I stopped waiting for the "right moment" to have a child. We just decided to have one. We talked about our different cultures and religions. We talked about what our child would grow up learning about and believing in. One night we said, "she will learn from both of us and the biggest lesson she will learn is love and respect." Those are the two basic themes of any religion.
Delivering a baby was the most spiritual journey of my life so far. Both Adrian and my mother were in the delivery room and when the baby came out we all burst into tears. Adrian ran around the table to hug my mother, the baby was on my chest for skin-to-skin and in that moment I thought of a quote I had heard as a girl in Yeshiva. It was a quote from the Talmud: "Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers 'grow, grow." That's what we were put on earth to do. I'd like my daughter to grow to ask questions and not always do something because it's the way it's been done for centuries.
I'd like her to respect and love and admire where both her parents come from so that she can respect, love and admire herself. So that she can know that there is never just one faith – but to have faith in something, in anything will catapult her toward her dreams and whomever she wants to be.
Thank You, InterfaithFamily
This week, InterfaithFamily is celebrating its important work and the leadership provided by InterfaithFamily Founder Ed Case and Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Boston President Barry Shrage in making it possible for more of us to #ChooseLove without needing to decide between love and a Jewish life. Leading up to Thursday's celebration, I hope you have had a chance to read IFF's own Liz Polay-Wettengel's "An Open Letter to Judaism from an Interfaith Family" on Medium this week, as well as Molly Tolsky's great response on Kveller. In her essay, Liz Polay-Wettengel speaks some honest and difficult truths about her family's path to, with, and outside of Judaism as an Interfaith family. Molly Tolsky underscores the importance of Liz's piece, and shares her own experience, one that rings true to so many of us, of how often Interfaith couples are whole-heartedly raising their famililes Jewishly, even while there are those in our community who still decry "the problem" of their couplehood.
I am lucky that my family's story is not filled with the denials, closed doors or simple no's described in these two pieces. A huge reason for this is based in a single exchange I had with InterfaithFamily, with Ed Case specifically, eleven years ago.
When Eric and I were engaged in Los Angeles in 2004, we knew we wanted to be married by a rabbi. We also knew we wanted opportunities for members of both of our families to be involved and engaged in the wedding ceremony. We had taken an Introduction to Judaism class together and had shul-shopped a bit, but we didn't have one rabbi we knew we wanted to marry us. My parents lived in Newton, where IFF's founding and national office is located, and they knew a little about Ed Case and IFF. They encouraged us to check out the IFF website, and I was happy when I first poked around to find a link about "Seeking a Rabbi."
I emailed the IFF general email with a request for some ideas about rabbis in Los Angeles who would be open to marrying us. Ed Case quickly wrote back with a list of potential clergy, at least a dozen long. We started working our way through the list, setting up interviews, and eventually found a perfect fit – a wonderful rabbi named Allen Freehling with whom we both easily connected.
A list of names in an email might not sound like much, but when I compare it to the stories my peers shared this week, I am reminded of our great fortune. Wedding planning is a huge endeavor, and the process lays a foundation for your identity as a couple. If the very first step in this process is to encounter a set of "no's," it can derail both your planning and your spirit. Because IFF had actively engaged in assembling lists just like the one Ed Case emailed to me, we had a long list of Yeses to send us down a path that encouraged both our pursuit of Judaism and our identity as an Interfaith family.
This week, I am thankful that IFF was available to Eric and me to support our establishment as a family. Every week, I am grateful for the resources of this organization and the communities it creates to continue this support. I hope you find it helpful to you in some small or large way, too. If you are anywhere near Boston on Thursday, I'll look out for you at IFF's #ChooseLove celebration.
Nothing to Fear, Much to Gain from a Community of Interfaith Families
Recently, the membership director at my synagogue asked me if I would reach out to a young woman who was the Jewish half of an interfaith couple and a new temple member with her husband. She was also expecting her first child. Knowing the importance of a warm welcome, especially for intermarrieds, I said I would be happy to reach out.
I assumed my conversation with this Jewish intermarried would be similar to the discussions I've had with other intermarried partners looking for a Jewish home. She would feel grateful and relieved to have found a welcoming, inclusive community that dedicated resources to interfaith-specific programming.
When I called the woman, I told her about my involvement over the years in the congregation's Interfaith Moms group and its evolution into Interfaith Families. I discussed how the group was a great way to meet other intermarrieds and build community at our large synagogue. I said I would add her name to the group's distribution list so she would receive information on future activities.
At this point, the conversation took a strange turn. She told me that she wasn't sure she wanted to be involved with an interfaith group because she needed to be "very strategic" about who her family associated with. I wondered what that meant.
The interfaith mom-to-be explained that she was raised in an active Conservative home that kept kosher. She had a Jewish wedding and her children would be raised Jewish. So far, a common story.
Then she made a few statements that started to help me understand what "very strategic" meant. She said interfaith groups were not comprised of families like hers where the mother was the Jewish parent. Instead, they "were mostly non-Jewish women, who really weren't interested in raising Jewish children."
What?!?! I'd never heard another intermarried use the same (old) stereotypes still peddled by some segments of the Jewish community or held by older generations.
She added that since the female partner controlled the religious upbringing of children and the identity of a home the families in our interfaith group would never be Jewishly active. "Besides," she said, "Their children will never really be Jewish anyway."
At this point, I had enough of the outdated rhetoric regarding intermarriage and decided it was time to dispel a few myths and explain what type of community she had joined.
In a friendly but firm tone, I explained that our interfaith families group was diverse. It included families with a Jewish mom and a not Jewish dad, a Jewish dad and not Jewish mom, a parent that converted, and same-sex couples with one not Jewish partner. Since the group was synagogue-based, regardless of family composition, the participants were all raising Jewish children and creating singularly Jewish homes, or moving in that direction.
I shared that many of the not Jewish partners were the ones reconnecting their Jewish spouses to Judaism. She interjected with another generalization, "Isn't that always how it is? The convert becomes more zealous about practicing than the one born Jewish."
I didn't want her to have the impression that all of the not Jewish partners had converted or were in the process of converting. I said, "Some convert, some maintain their identity but aren't practicing, and some are active in and fully committed to raising Jewish children but remain connected to their individual faith." I also explained that we were a Reform congregation, which meant that we welcomed, recognized and accepted children as Jewish if they had one Jewish parent–regardless of the gender of the parent. The woman got quiet.
I asked her if she had any questions or if I could help her in any way. She asked about baby naming ceremonies for girls. As she shared her questions, I empathized with this young woman. I remembered the early years of my marriage when I was also unsure of how my and my husband's choice to be Jewish would play out.
I also thought that I needed to direct our Jewish life and worried about the influence of interfaith couples making different decisions. I didn't start feeling more relaxed about being Jewish and interfaith until we found an inclusive and welcoming community. Only then did I realize that sharing a commitment to create a Jewish home was what was important, not how each couple implemented that decision. In fact, the diversity of approaches became an opportunity to learn, rather than something to be feared.
This woman and I spoke for another few minutes. It was a nice conversation. When I hung up, I hoped that after her initial hesitation wore off, she and her husband and baby would try an interfaith families activity. Because if they tried it, they'd realize that there is nothing to fear and much to gain from having a vibrant community of interfaith families to navigate the joys and challenges of intermarriage with.
Choosing a Jewish Life – Fostering Jewish Peoplehood
The Center for Jewish Peoplehood Education (CJPE) is a resource and catalyst for developing education about collective Jewish belonging, often focused on the areas of Jewish peoplehood and Israel. Through its blog and Peoplehood Papers series, the organization generates dialog about the meaning and importance of Jewish peoplehood and how to nurture it.
Recently, I wrote an essay for the CJPE blog about the significant influence peoplehood had on the decision to have a Jewish home by inmarrying and intermarrying couples in a pre-marriage class that I taught at my synagogue. I discussed how we created a curriculum that showed how Jewish engagement could deepen connection to the Jewish people regardless of whether or not both partners were Jewish.
While the following piece addresses engaged couples, it applies to any family interested in building a Jewish home, regardless of life stage. The questions my co-teacher and I ask students–why is being Jewish significant to you, what does it mean to have a Jewish home, how will you go about creating one–are relevant to us all. They are questions we should continually ask ourselves because as we journey through religion, spirituality and life, the answers may change.
I hope you'll share in the comment section below why you chose to be Jewish, what having a Jewish home meant when you got married, why being Jewish is important to you today and how your idea of a Jewish home has evolved.
This essay is reprinted with permission.
Six months ago, I began teaching a premarital class to intrafaith and interfaith couples being married by clergy at my synagogue. The impetus for the class was the increasing disaffiliation and disconnection of Jewish young adults from Jewish life.
Regardless of whether couples were endogamous or interfaith, we believed that marriage presented an opportunity to influence their religious engagement. We felt that this relationship stage provided us with the chance to effect faith related choices, something especially important as we sought to encourage more interfaith couples to participate in Judaism.
We recognized during premarital counseling that we asked inmarrying and intermarrying couples to make a Jewish home, but that many of these couples didn't know how to go about creating one. Most of the Jewish partners were raised in progressive Jewish households, either wholly Jewish or interfaith, and grew up practicing Judaism episodically. Their upbringing focused on the High Holidays, Passover, and Hanukkah and few participated in Jewish education post-b'nai mitzvah or remembered anything from religious school.
We wanted to push these often Jewishly illiterate and religiously disconnected couples to think about why being Jewish was significant to them and help them understand how to honor their commitment to have a Jewish home. So, we created a two- to four-week learning experience for engaged partners.
At the start of each session, we asked the couples how they decided to have a Jewish home and why having one was important to them. Interestingly, regardless of whether the Jewish partner or partners grew up secularly Jewish, episodically Jewish, modestly observant or very observant, the reason having a Jewish home was important was the same. All had a strong sense of belonging to the Jewish people.
We used our curriculum, which focused on Shabbat and community building, to show the couples how ritual and communal involvement, could deepen their feeling of Jewish peoplehood. We discussed how rituals, whether viewed as divine commandments or social customs, were a means to transmit Jewish heritage, beliefs, and values. We explained the importance of Shabbat and ways to embrace it. We talked about using the holiday to bring sacredness into the couple's relationship and home.
These classroom discussions provided a foundation for what was in my opinion the most significant component of the class–experiential learning. Over a Shabbat meal at a congregant's home, the students experienced the power of Shabbat in a communal setting. Since many of the couples didn't grow up with a Shabbat home ritual because their families weren't observant or they weren't Jewish, we wanted to demonstrate and demystify the holiday. The more relaxed social setting of a home also provided couples the opportunity to deepen the connections they were forming in the classroom demonstrating how Shabbat could be used to build community.
Forging relationships between students was high on our priority list because community was a significant predictor of Jewish engagement. Since we knew that adults with more densely Jewish social networks were more likely to engage in Judaism and raise Jewish children we added a second non-classroom learning experience. At the end of the program, we brought the couples together for Havdalah in a member's home. This endpoint allowed us to expose participants to another ritual and gave students an opportunity to deepen their connection to each other.
When endogamous and interfaith couples make the decision to be married by a rabbi, it opens the door to a Jewish conversation. It gives us the chance to encourage Jewish choices. Using classroom and experiential learning plus premarital counseling, we can help Jewish and not Jewish partners see how Judaism can help them feel part of something bigger and connect them to Jewish life.
Happy Bat Mitzvah Anniversary!
This week was my
I may be wrong, but I'd imagine that for many people who grew up Jewishly, whether you practice Judaism or not as an adult, your anniversary, or at least the memory of your Bar or Bat Mitzvah would carry a little of that. In my estimation, the main difference between having had a Bar Mitzvah and not is not whether or not you ever became an adult, or people ever talked to you about "becoming an adult." It's that if you had a Bar Mitzvah, there was a moment in time that stood out in marking that progression (even if it was years before adulthood set in), rather than the multitude of smaller events that mark the passage from child to teen to adulthood over time for all of us.
So what is my Bat Mitzvah Anniversary about for me? As much as we can recognize that in today's society, a child is hardly an adult, or near that, at 13, there are some big things that happen when you become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. First, of course, you are called to the bimah to read from the Torah – the first time you are fully able to do all of the things adults do during religious observance. Through Torah and D'var Torah (the speech), you make a commitment to begin engaging with your community as an adult – to try out being a grown-up. But the other stuff? Here are a few things:
So perhaps my Bat Mitzvah Anniversary is a mini birthday for my individuality and independence, or perhaps it is just a day to remember how lucky I have been to have lots of great people around me in my life. If you were raised Jewishly, perhaps some of this resonates for you. If you weren't raised Jewishly, and you have a Jewish partner, or a child who has become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, give them a mazel tov on their anniversary this year.
