Common Origins, Distinct Paths
Jews and Christians in Conversation
May 14-15, 2010
A
coalition of Northeast Wisconsin synagogues, churches, and other groups
is hosting a very special free program. We have invited Amy-Jill Levine, professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, to be our “Scholar-in-Residence” May 14-16, 2010.
Why?
To
encourage understanding and respect among the Jews and Christians in
Northeastern Wisconsin through study of our common origins and through
conversation and interaction.
