Description
Ohavi Zedek Synagogue invites you to an extraordinary afternoon with scholars Imam Abdullah Antepli and Yossi Klein Halevi as they present "Across the Abyss: How a former anti-semite and a former Jewish extremist are changing the Muslim-Jewish Relationship."
While growing up in Turkey, Abdullah Antepli read anti-Semitic texts and saw Jews as evil. While growing up in Brooklyn, Yossi Klein Halevi, the son of a Holocaust survivor, was attracted to the militant politics of the Jewish far-right. Today, they run a revolutionary program, the Muslim Leadership Initiative, that is changing the way Muslims and Jews understand and relate to each other.
