Rabbi Dr. Niles Goldstein<\/strong>, asked to reflect on the impact of 草莓社区’s Center for Interfaith Engagement<\/a> on its 10th anniversary, called the organization \u201ca counterweight to today\u2019s climate of tribalizm and demonization of the other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its work is \u201cvital to mutual understanding, breaking down stereotypes, and building bridges between and among religious and spiritual communities,\u201d said the former Jewish Visiting Scholar, who spent 2013 teaching and facilitating conversations at EMU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
