About this Event
Jerusalem is sacred to the followers of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is also special for millions worldwide – Jews and Arabs, Palestinians and Israelis, and others – who revere it and regard it as a precious inheritance from their ancestors and a place of both spiritual and physical importance.
Join us as we discuss the trilogy of books, “What Jerusalem Means to Us: Jewish, Christian and Muslim Perspectives and Reflections,” and explore the intimate and unique connections that Jews, Christians, and Muslims have with Jerusalem. The panel of contributing authors will examine the significance of Jerusalem to the three major Abrahamic traditions and their religious, spiritual, historical, cultural, and political dimensions. They will also explore domestic challenges and visions for how the city can be shared. These concepts will be presented as a path toward advancing the values of faith, justice, equality, reconciliation, and cultural heritage, while simultaneously promoting the city’s sacredness.
