Across the Abyss: How a Former Anti-Semite and a Former Jewish Extremist are Changing the Muslim-Jewish Relationship.

While growing up in Turkey, Abdullah Antepli saw Jews as evil and read the children's version of the classic anti-Semitic work, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. While growing up in Brooklyn, Yossi Klein Halevi, the son of a Holocaust survivor, was attracted to the militant politics of the Jewish far-right. Today, Abdullah heads Muslim Affairs at Duke University, while Yossi is a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute, Israel's leading center for religious pluralism. Together they run a revolutionary program, the Muslim Leadership Initiative, that is changing the way Muslims and Jews understand and relate to each other.

This event is free and open to the public.
