by Pluralism Project Staff

Dear Greater Boston Friends, Please join us on *Sunday, March 22nd from 2:15-4:00pm at the Cambridge Public Library for our rescheduled Of Many <http://www.ofmanyfilm.com/> **film screening* followed by a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Diana Eck, founder and director of the Pluralism Project at Harvard University <http://www.pluralism.org/>. (Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1599077496972927/.) The screening is part of our Religion Refocused <http://www.pluralism.org/events/rr> series. We look forward to seeing you there. Thank you in advance for bringing a friend and sharing with your networks! *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. (www.ofmanyfilm.com/ trailer/) *Panelists include:* - Rabbi Neal Gold, Temple Shir Tikva - Dr. Syed Razvi, Islamic Center of Boston - Ms. Usra Ghazi, Mayors Office of New Bostonians and the Memorial Church - Mr. Sarbpreet Singh, Milford Gurdwara Sahib/New England Sikh Study Circle, Inc.
