Day 1


Today I experienced both general and break-out sessions designed to improve my ability to facilitate dialogue and teach students both in and out of the classroom about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

I have met educators from all over Metro Detroit who work with youth in a variety of capacities.

These images are mostly quilt squares from a peace quilt created by children from the Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farmington Hills. Single-click on them to see them in detail.

The opportunity to find common ground and learn from people of different backgrounds is a central focus of this conference. There are so many people doing very real work that is making a difference in promoting peace and understanding within and among our communities.
