by Pluralism Project Staff

Dear Greater Boston Friends: We're sad to report that tomorrow night's film screening and discussion *are postponed due to the forecasted snow storm* for Greater Boston. A new date will be announced soon. Please stay safe and stay tuned! Thank you. All the best, The Pluralism Project Staff *Of Many Film Screening and Panel Discussion* NEW DATE: TBD Cambridge Public Library *Of Many <http://www.ofmanyfilm.com/> *film screening with a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Diana Eck, founder and director of the Pluralism Project at Harvard University <http://www.pluralism.org/>. *Synopsis of the film Of Many:* Set against the dramatic backdrop of violence in the Middle East and the tension between Jewish and Muslim students on college campuses, *Of Many* focuses on the surprising and transformative relationship between an orthodox rabbi and imam, who serve as university chaplains in New York City. Through a series of voyages to communities struck by catastrophe, we witness young religious Jews and Muslims working together and overcoming long-standing divides. Timely and humorous, this short documentary offers an inspiring and hopeful narrative in the face of a seemingly irreconcilable conflict.
