Next event — “Our Ancient Prophets and the Values of Human Dignity and Equality.” Sunday, June 14th, from 2:00 – 4:30 at Dar Al Hijrah Islamic Center, 3159 Row St, Falls Church, VA 22044. Please RSVP to jids.washington@gmail.com.
During this program, we will apply our faiths’ deepest teachings to the contemporary world. We’ll focus largely on what the Prophets in the Torah and Qur’an say about the importance of preserving human dignity and fostering equality. Also, we’ll look at how these values either have, or have not, been applied by Jews and Muslims in our world. You can expect the speakers to discuss both success stories and failures to measure up to our values. To frame the discussion, we will hear presentation from conflict resolution expert and former diplomat Hakam Takash and Rabbi David Shneyer.
