SUMMARY:Muslim/Jewish Halaqa-Seder: A Celebration of the Exodus Story
DESCRIPTION:Join us for dramatic reenactments of scenes from the Exodus Story from Muslim and Jewish scriptures followed by engaging interfaith table conversations and a halal/kosher dinner among Muslim and Jewish members of South Bay communities. Last year’s event was sold out. \nRegister online at ing.org/events/muslim-jewish-halaqa-seder-a-celebration-of-the-exodus-story/ \nAt last year’s event\, a group of Muslims and Jews gathered in Palo Alto on Sunday\, March 29th\, 2015\, for a one-of-a-kind Seder and Halaqa that looked at scenes from the Exodus story from the perspectives of Muslims and Jews. Following each scene\, attendees participated in fruitful interfaith discussions of the different narratives at their tables. The discussions were so engrossing that people had a hard time ending their conversations\, which continued through the halal/kosher dinner. The event concluded with an open mic session where participants voiced their appreciation for the event and their desire to learn more about each other’s tradition. For more information and photos from the event\, go here.
