23 Feb 2016

We hope you will join us for a showing of the inspiring short film Of Many, a movie that focuses on the surprising and transformative relationship between Rabbi Yehuda Sarna and Imam Khalid Latif, who serve as university chaplains at New York University. The film is set against the dramatic backdrop of violence in the Middle East and the tension between Jewish and Muslim students on college campuses.

Through a series of voyages to communities struck by catastrophe, we witness young religious Jews and Muslims working together and overcoming long-standing divides. This look at how tragedies near and far — from the Israeli-Arab conflict and the Muhammad cartoon turmoil to Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 — affect relationships in a diverse community might change the way you look at those around you.

We are pleased to bring the Rabbi and Imam to campus to share their expertise in interfaith dialogue and action and hope you will join us for a screening of the film followed by a talk-back open forum with the Rabbi, Imam and members of the campus community.
