Don’t miss this timely and fascinating opportunity — open to all — to learn about the commonalities and differences between Muslims and Jews.

During the Saturday evening program, Haroon will discuss his journey into the Jewish community through the Muslim Leadership Initiative (MLI), an educational program of the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America, what he learned in working at Hartman, and what many Jewish communities might not know about Muslim communities here in America.

For the Sunday morning program, Haroon will “teach Islam like most people never experience it; what it means to be Muslim, and how Islam sees the origins and purpose of humanity.” An introduction that goes back to the very beginnings of Islam, this class will interactively explore what the world looks like through Muslim eyes.

Haroon is the Fellow in Jewish-Muslim Relations at the Shalom Hartman Institute. He has appeared on all major U.S. media networks, and has been published in the Washington Post, Time, CNN and Foreign Policy. In 2016, he was honored with the Religion News Writer’s Awards for Religion Reporting Excellence. He is the author of three books, including How to be a Muslim: An American Story. He also participates in the Multicultural Audience Development Initiative at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Haroon enjoys snowboarding, writing novels and learning French, and he believes in the Force. His book will be on sale at the Beth El events or may be purchased at Amazon.
