We Refuse to be Enemies

We Refuse to be Enemies

Join Bassem Rashidi and the Primal Rhythm Experience for an experience of a lifetime with Rhythm and Remembrance. Two years ago the Southern California Muslim-Jewish Forum was convened out of the work of the The Foundation For Ethnic Understanding-FFEU. They created an annual “Twinning” program to bring Muslims and Jews together in order to build relationship, understanding and harmony. Many synagogues, mosques and Muslim-Jewish organizations in So Calif. have participated over the years and we formed our Forum. This year our Twinning event will feature the offering of Two Faiths One Prayer. Most likely you have seen their video that went viral. The program will give everyone a chance to participate in this profound experience.We will open the program with a “Speed-Dating” exercise where everyone finds a partner to share their feelings on a given prompt; there will be three prompts given throughout the program. Musical offerings by Rabbi Neil Comess-Daniels, Ahmed Pierstroff, Bassem Rashidi and Moose Simjee will reflect the sacred attunement of the shared prayer. Introduction to “Two Faiths One Prayer”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWP1nvy5C_U
