Ohavi Zedek Synagogue is happy to invite the public to attend a lecture by Imam Abdullah Antepli and Yossi Klein Halevi: 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 read anti-Semitic texts and saw Jews as evil. 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, they run a revolutionary program, the Muslim Leadership Initiative, that is changing the way Muslims and Jews understand and relate to each other.
Sunday, April 22, 2:00 p.m. Ohavi Zedek Synagogue, 188 No. Prospect St., Burlington. Free and open to the public. www.ohavizedek.org for more information.
