Professors Yehezkel Landau, Miriam Therese Winter, and Yahya Michot will offer an interfaith evening of celebration of the Spirit, from their faith perspectives. They will reflect on the mystical dimensions of spirituality in Judaism, Christianity and Islam and offer insights into how each of us can respond to the challenges of faithful living in the 21st century through the spiritual traditions of our faith. The evening will include relfection, prayer and conversation.
