How Interfaith Foundations Lead to Authentic Allyship: Colleyville and Beyond

The events in and around Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, TX in January 2022 could have been another story about the prejudice and deep division in our society – instead, out of the trauma and fear emerged a story of a community united. A foundational lesson that calls to us from that recent – and further off – history: how do we build supportive, resilient, and diverse communities? Join religious leaders from Dallas, TX who disagree on fundamental and consequential things yet have been investing in mutually inspiring relationships for years. In the face of the Beth Israel synagogue hostage crisis in January 2022 those relationships helped a hurting community confront prejudice and division. Come away inspired, with tools to start or deepen your own relationships across diverse communities and with new connections to a growing global network.

This conversation, moderated by IFYC, will include Dimitry Anselme from Facing History and Ourselves, Rev. Dr. Bob Roberts, Jr., Adena Cytron-Walker, and Imam Dr. Omar Suleiman.
