Ishmael Instructs Isaac: Islamic Views of Protagonists in Torah
Wednesday, April 18, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
$45 – $55Class meets on 5 consecutive Wednesdays, April 18, 25, May 2, 9, 16, 2018.
Many of the characters in the Torah are also in the Qur’an. But each faith portrays their stories differently. Since our beliefs are shaped by these stories, it helps to understand how others see them. These five sessions will explore and compare the differing stories of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Sarah and Hagar.
Led by: Rabbi Paula Reimers
