The Temple Neve Shalom in Metuchen hosted the Peace Islands Institute in an Abraham's Table on December 6th 2011 in the evening. The topic discussed was "What Does the Holy Land Mean to Me", which is a topic that may bring members of three faiths togerther rather than alienate them. Each speaker shared their own perspective on the topic. Q&A followed the discussion. It was a wonderful evening well spent, we thank Rabbi Gerald Zelizer for making this wonderful event possible. Food and refresments were also provided by Temple Neve Shalom. New friends were made on this unforgettable evening
Speakers:
Rabbi Gerald Zelizer, Temple Neve Shalom in Metuchen
Rev. Jeff Markay, United Methodist Church, Caldwell
Dr. Levent Koc, Peace Islands Institute
