 <\/p>\n

On Tuesday night, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Bahais, and people of all
\nfaiths, came together at for an iftar dinner at Peninsula Temple Beth
\nEl. About 200 attendees were led in conversation by Rabbi Laura Rumpf
\nof Peninsula Temple Beth El, Pastor Connie Winter-Eulberg of St
\nAndrew’s Lutheran church, and Pacifica Institute’s Mahmut Altun.
\nDinner guests heard personal stories of building connection across
\nfaith and were asked to share their own stories at their tables.<\/p>\n

My organization, the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) along
\nwith the Peninsula Multifaith Coalition were fortunate to bring the
\ncommunity together to break bread with our partners and friends of the
\nPacifica Institute. At my own table I was blessed to hear cross
\ngenerational stories of the classroom, the sanctuary, and the work
\nplace of people learning from one another about each other’s faith
\ntraditional. We also of ate wonderful food and learned about the
\ncustoms of Ramadan.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Pacifica for your partnership and even more the friendships.<\/p>\n
