This will be an interfaith visit with representatives from at least 7 different religions present to explore the sacred space of this gorgeous synagogue. This visit is run by Sharing Sacred Spaces in partnership with Thanks-Giving Foundation and local congregational partners, and is part of the Interreligious Communities Project, Dallas, TX. Â There will be 8 visits to different sacred spaces as part of this program over the course of 2024-2025. Â There will be 8 "experiences" in fact; not just visits. Â We go deep into the architectural design of each space which opens up new avenues for connecting the material and the spiritual. Â Members of each congregation will also share about their worldview, spiritual journeys, and history. Â We then share a meal and dialogue. Â Join us for this one visit or all of them! Â Click here to see the full schedule of visits for the year.
This visit to Congregation Shearith Israel is the fourth of the series, and we hope to see you there!
Please note this etiquette for visiting the synagogue:
