Join Education Director Jeremy Fricke and Ben Mazur, Temple Israel’s Director of Congregational Learning, for this session of Making the Familiar Strange as we explore the story of Job.

Making the Familiar Strange is an opportunity for interfaith dialogue that inspires people of different religious and nonreligious backgrounds to read the same text together. Rather than providing answers, creating arguments, or shutting down conversation, Making the Familiar Strange gives attendees an opportunity to investigate and share different perspectives on the same texts.

While not required, the program is best if you have access to the stories, which can be through a physical copy or online copy of a Bible, Tanakh, and/or Quran.

Tri-Faith Initiative events are recorded and archived on our YouTube Channel.
