SUMMARY:Swords into Ploughshares -- Interfaith Wisdom Class on Torah & Quranic Scriptures against War
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterfaith Wisdom Class with Ted Brownstein & Sheikh Ghassan Manasra\n+\nLive Music from Abed Manasra\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteps Toward Peacemaking: Anti-War Textures in Torah and Qu’ran\n\nWednesday\, July 19th\, 7:30pm ET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTed Brownstein\, TAO and AR Board Member\, will be joined by Abed and Ghassan Manasra for Temple Adath Or’s Wednesday Wisdom Class online\, a 90-minute interactive meeting featuring music\, lecture\, and discussion.\n\nTOPIC: Both the Torah and the Qur’an authorize war under certain circumstances. But there are plenty of signs that G-d / Allah was not One who took pleasure in war. The text creates many limitations and warnings. For example\, in this week’s Torah portion\, the Israelites fight the Midianite. Yet when the Israelite soldiers come back victorious to the camp\, they are “unclean.” Instead of the nation holding a big victory celebration for them\, those who took part in the killing must stay outside the camp for seven days to purify themselves and then must bath before then can re-enter society. This is a sign that war and killing in war were not pure in the eyes of G-d\, even in ancient times.\n\nThe future that the Prophets foresee is a time of peace. Swords will be beaten into plows and the meek (not the strongest fighters) will inherit the earth. Hoping that Sheikh Ghassan will have similar examples anti-war sentiments Qur’an or tradition.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n(Please Note: Password Needed For Entry)\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83181558604\n\nMeeting ID: 831 8155 8604\nPasscode: 8887799\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Join Zoom Meeting    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Presenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTed Brownstein\, AR Board\, TAO Member\, Lake Worth Interfaith Network\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTed is a Jewish-Christian-Baha’i living in Lake Worth with his wife\, Chris.
