Revealing Texts: How Faith Communities Interpret Abortion

Wednesday, March 22nd 2017, 7:00pm

In “Revealing Texts: How Faith Communities Interpret Abortion” we'll hear Jewish, Christian, and Islamic scholars sharing their faith communities' texts. Ameena Jandali will share Islamic texts, Jim McGarry will share Catholic texts, and Deena Aranoff will share Hebrew and Rabbinic literature. We will learn how their traditions interpret these writings to create a world view on abortion. Join us for a Lehrhaus dialogue: No debate, all dialogue; no proof texting, all discovery.

This is a collaborative project of Lehrhaus Judaica and The Graduate Theological Union, with support from the Compton Foundation. Community sponsors include the JCC East Bay and Temple Sinai, Oakland.

This program is in association with the Berkeley Rep’s production of Roe, at the Berkeley Repertory Theater March 3 to April 2. Lecture is $10 and will take place at the David Brower Center, 2150 Allston Way, Berkeley, 94704. To register, http://catalog.lehrhaus.org/course/2017/winter/T600-DBC/.
