In Hebrew, "Shema" (שְׁמַע) is a prayer that serves as a central tenet of the Jewish faith. It begins with the word "Shema," which means "hear" or "listen."

A thought-provoking workshop dedicated to examining the complex issues of Antisemitism and Islamophobia. This interactive session provides a safe and inclusive space for participants to delve into the roots, impacts, and manifestations of these forms of prejudice. This workshop aims to foster awareness, empathy, and critical thinking skills. Together, we can confront prejudice.
American Jews and Muslims come together to discuss the responsibility of (inter)faith leaders in addressing the ongoing conflict in Israel-Palestine. Recognizing the trauma experienced by many, both historically and in the present, in light of the dehumanizing Anti-Muslim and Anti-Semitic rhetoric, we aim to create an open and inclusive space for discussing both faith and politics.
