On Wednesday, November 1, Hillel and the Muslim Student Union are co-sponsoring a religious diversity discussion. The event will be held at 7 PM in Humanities Instructional Buliding (HIB) 100.
This panel will feature two religious leaders — a Muslim and a Jew — who aim to engage the audience in an open dialogue about their faith in relation to our society. The panelists are Sheik Sadullah Khan, Executive Director of Religious Affairs at the Islamic Center of Irvine and Rabbi Richard Steinberg, Congregation Shir Ha-Ma’alot.
This comes on the heels of a recent article in The New University in which Alex Chazen, president of Hillel, stated that he hopes for better relations between Jewish and Muslim Students on campus.
