Food and Faith 2019 - Blessing: A Dialogue Between Muslims and Jews

Please join Muslim and Jewish students and community members for the third annual iteration of Food & Faith. The program will begin with a conversation between Rabbi Michael Davies of Charleston’s Congregation Dor Tikvah, and Imam Shamu Shamudeen of the Central Mosque of Charleston, moderated by Elijah Siegler, chair of the Department of Religious Studies at the College of Charleston. Commonalities and differences between Muslim and Jewish "blessings" will be the central topic, followed by samples of traditional Jewish and Muslim foods.

Following the moderated conversation, attendees will form breakout groups and discuss issues beyond blessings, to include Jewish and Muslim dietary practices, pilgrimage, clothing, holidays, scripture, charity, and more. The event is co-sponsored by the College of Charleston Department of Religious Studies, the Yaschik/Arnold Jewish Studies Program, Jewish Student Union/Hillel, and the Charleston Interreligious Council.
