A Conversation Across Traditions

This interfaith dialogue offers a chance to deepen your understanding of Shabbat while engaging with how it resonates across religious boundaries. Whether you observe Shabbat every week or are curious about its significance, this lecture promises fresh perspectives on a practice at the heart of Jewish life.
