IMPORTANT NOTICE: Postponement of Upcoming Interfaith Program Noor Cultural Centre and Holy Blossom Temple interfaith committees have decided to postpone the joint program scheduled for Wednesday May 19 (on intertwined histories of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia) while the ongoing violence and hostilities in Israel/Palestine continue. Our mutual relations are very important to our respective communities, and we hope to be able to resume the series in time. ... In the meantime, we pray to be guided towards sincerely and meaningfully enacting the fundamental religious teaching we share - that all human lives have equal value and none is more dispensable than or lesser than another.
