Join Rabbi Stacy and international Muslim activist Soraya M. Deen for an expansive conversation on collective activism, interfaith collaboration, and allyship. We will explore new ways of being in relationship with one another, and how we can best support our community during the heartbreaking days following October 7. Soraya will share stories of Muslims who stand in solidarity with the Jewish people and peace-loving Palestinians, in the face of worldwide antisemitism.
