Join us as explore, share, compare, and discuss various aspects of Judaism and Islam. These sessions are open to the ENTIRE WFU and W-S/ Triad communities. Each session is self-contained, and no experience or knowledge about Judaism or Islam is required to join us.

There is always a handout given at each session with an overview and links to other information about the subject.  At the end of each session is a question and answer period.  

Attend as you are able.  Bring your lunch and your friends!   For more info, contact Gail bretangh@wfu.edu or Naijla faiznr0@wfu.edu
