Reading Interfaith Mission
October 17-24, 2018
The Jewish Federation of Reading is inviting our interfaith community to join us on a group trip to Israel. We hope to enhance everyone’s understanding of the multi-faith complexities of Israel and the Middle East by traveling, visiting, and learning together. Imagine visiting the Dome of the Rock and see it through the eyes of a Muslim? See Masada through Jewish eyes as a last stand against the Romans. Imagine learning about the security checkpoints not from the media, but from personal experience and conversation with people on both sides of the issue.
