A Multifaith Conversation (Part 1)

I proudly introduce this 5-part video series: Beyond The Headlines: An Interfaith Dialogue at American University. I cannot claim credit for its production in any way, but I love the idea of bringing together a Jew, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian and a Unitarian. The objective is simple: looking for a common ground.

In Part 1: A Jewish woman explains the traditional holiday of Yom Kippur, and a comparison between Yom Kippur and the Muslim celebration of Ramadan as a time of fasting and introspection, and whether fasting is practiced in the Hindu faith.
