Rumi Forum and Sharing Sacred Spaces will visit the Temple Rodef Shalom in Falls Church, VA, on Sunday, February 18, from  5 to 7:30 pm. This interfaith visit will have representatives from six different religious communities present to explore this sacred space and build understanding and unity across faiths. These congregations are participating in an interreligious effort to build understanding and solidarity across differences. Even in this time of heightened bias and polarization, gathering and sharing our mutual humanity seeds hope.

Our friends at the Temple will greet us with warm hospitality, love, and compassion. We will learn the story and heart of their religion and its practices, have the opportunity to participate in a mini-Torah study on sacred space, hear from members about their spiritual journeys, walk the gorgeous space, enjoy delicious food (such as matzoh ball soup), and join in the dialogue.  Participants are encouraged to come with their curiosity and questions and take this opportunity to meet their neighbors and build the foundations for peace.

This visit is part of the Interreligious Communities Project (Northern VA/Washington).
