SUMMARY:Scriptural Reasoning: “Joseph”
DESCRIPTION:Rumi Forum had its monthly circle on October 20\, 2023\, to study Abrahamic scriptures on the topic of “Joseph” with our study leader\, Rabbi Hyim Shafner\, from the Kesher Israel: The Georgetown Synagogue. \nScriptural Reasoning (SR) allows Christians\, Jews\, and Muslims to study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet monthly to read short passages from their respective scriptures on a certain topic. Facilitated by a study leader\, each session is an opportunity to listen and share various perspectives. SR sessions help participants reflect on a curious list of topics within the Abrahamic tradition. The result is often a deeper understanding of others and one’s own scriptures\, as well as the development of strong bonds across faith communities. \n                Scriptural Reasoning: Introduction                         Jewish Scripture: Hebrew Bible \n                 \n               Christian Scripture: New Testament                             Islamic Scripture: Quran \n                 \nEvent Photos \n[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”402″ display=”basic_thumbnail” thumbnail_crop=”0″] \nThis Month’s Study Leader \n \nRabbi Hyim Shafner is the Rabbi of Kesher Israel: The Georgetown Synagogue in Washington D.C.
