The IT Services Diversity Committee is excited to be hosting our annual lunch and film festival event next week on Wednesday, August 7, 2019.
There will be a catered picnic lunch on the Boyd lawn, and then we will move into Boyd 107, where we’ll show a film called “Of Many,” a documentary about a relationship between an orthodox rabbi and imam in New York City. From the film’s website:
“Through a series of voyages to communities struck by catastrophe, we witness young religious Jews and Muslims working together and overcoming long-standing divides. Timely and humorous, this short documentary offers an inspiring and hopeful narrative in the face of a seemingly irreconcilable conflict.”
More information can be found at the film’s site: http://www.ofmanyfilm.com/
We’ll invite discussion afterward. John-Charles Duffy, an assistant teaching professor in the Comparative Religion department here at Miami, will be there to facilitate the discussion.
Please join us! We expect the event to go from 11:30 am to 2 pm. Calendar invite forthcoming!
