Bridging Faiths Through the Holocaust: SEDER

Seder: Bridging Faiths Through the Holocaust, Smith Hall 4513 Manhattan college PKY, Riverdale, NY

This is a unique model Seder that is the culmination of a project encompassing Manhattan College's Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Education Center (headed by a Muslim scholar of the Holocaust), Yeshivat Chovevei Torah Rabbinical School (YCT) and Holocaust survivor clients of Selfhelp Community Services Nazi Victims Services Program. Three students at Manhattan College (one a Muslim) and three Rabbinic Yeshiva students have been meeting with three Holocaust survivors since last September.  During the discussions the students heard personal experiences from the Holocaust survivors.  The model Seder which has been a tradition at Manhattan College will also be the result of the six months cooperative project.  We are pleased to invite you as a leader of our community and join us in this interreligious celebration and cooperation.
