For Mount Sinai Community
Religion is arguably the oldest reason that people the world over have been oppressed. And over the course of mankind’s history no religion has been the exception. Join us as we explore the reasons for this oppression, learn more about each other’s religions, and develop an appreciation that we have much more in common than what separates us.
