Register to join the How Do We Find the Words: Interfaith Engagement in Troubling Times  panel discussion. American Jews and Muslims come together to discuss the moral responsibility of (inter)faith leaders in addressing the ongoing conflict in Israel-Palestine. The conversation will center on the deep trauma experienced by many, both historically and in the present, in light of the dehumanizing Anti-Muslim and Anti-Semitic rhetoric in the U.S. The panel will explore the essential role people of faith, particularly within Abrahamic traditions, play in combating hate and discrimination. It will also highlight strategies from Palestinian-Israeli and Abrahamic collaborative organizations as potential models for our communities, especially in this presidential election year. The aim is to create an open and inclusive space for discussing both faith and politics, even when differing perspectives arise.

This event will be held in person and online on Wednesday, October 30th from 12:30 PM-2:00 PM. If you are attending in person, please come to S416 S Cornell Ave in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. We will gather on the 4th floor in Classroom A. A light lunch will be provided.
