Nov. 21-23, 2008
Temple Emanu-El & Noor Cultural Centre
Weekend of Twinning
with Rabbi Debra Landsberg and Dr. Timothy Gianotti
See Coverage of this event in the Canadian Jewish News here.
As part of an inspirational North American wide initiative to build bridges and friendships between Jews and Muslims, Temple Emanu-El and Noor Cultural Centre have planned a series of cross-visits during the Weekend of Twinning of Synagogues and Mosques, November 21-23, 2008.
In the future we hope to have many occasions to share experiences, education, and build long-term friendships. We are hoping that families will attend throughout and in particular that youth will participate in the Sunday morning program at Noor.
