CJN on InterAct Thanksgiving


With a nice picture too. I posted my Rabbi’s sermon here.

From the Cleveland Jewish News:

Bridges were built on the B’nai Jeshurun Congregation’s bimah Nov. 19, when the Conservative congregation hosted the 48th gathering of representatives of Inter-Religious Partners in Action of Greater Cleveland (InterAct Cleveland).

…

Joining Rabbis Stephen Weiss and Hal Rudin-Luria and Cantor Aaron Shifman on the B’nai Jeshurun bimah were representatives from Baha’i, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, Unitarian and Episcopal congregations.

“I’m overwhelmed and profoundly moved that people of such varying religious traditions came together and prayed from their own traditions without watering down their prayers,” said Sister Donna Wilhelm, acting executive director of InterAct Cleveland.

…

During the social hour following the service, Sister Donna was delighted to see Rabbi Weiss engaged in a friendly dialogue with Iman Abbas Ahmad, president of the Council of Mosques of Northeast Ohio. “This type of conversation needs to be taking place throughout the world,” she said. “Maybe then people would stop killing each other in the name of religion.”

From the CJN: Members of the Guru Gobind Singh Sikh Society are flanked by Rabbi Stephen Weiss, left, and Rabbi Hal Rubin-Luria at InterAct service.
