About Judaism & Islam “Conversations Around the Table Together” Lunch & learn. Spring 2020
Thursdays from 12:00 – 1 pm, mostly in Benson 301 but also in other venues.

We provide the information, the space, the interactions and the desserts!

Judaism & Islam Lunch & Learn is an on-going Lunch & Learn series, which meets weekly on Thursdays from 12:00 to 1 pm. We explore, share, compare, and discuss various aspects of Judaism and Islam. These sessions are open to the ENTIRE WFU and W-S communities.
This informal educational series is facilitated by Gail Bretan, Associate Chaplain for Jewish Life at WFU, and Naijla Faizi, Associate Chaplain for Muslim Life at WFU, along with various WFU faculty, staff, alumni, students, and Winston-Salem Jewish community members who will bring their expertise on the topic of the day.
These are educational sessions, respectful and accepting of all our traditions. They are not political forums. 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.
