The discussion, held on the International Day of Peace on Sept. 21, will highlight YU's continued commitment to deepening ties and spreading Jewish values in the global community. This is the first-ever event in the United Arab Emirates where Jews, Muslims and Christians will discuss sustainability. Topics expected to be discussed include environmental preservation, the climate crisis and the importance of religion and ethics in addressing these challenges.
"As a representative of our multi-millennia tradition, I'm honored to draw on the time-tested roots of the Jewish faith to address the universal challenges of tomorrow," Berman said. "Yeshiva University is proud to participate in this historic opportunity and continue our work of bringing the Jewish voice into the global moral conversation."
Since opening in February 2023, the AFH has served a global audience and provided a platform for Jewish values to be shared. The venue offers a model of tolerance and education, housing a mosque, a church, and the Ben Maimon Synagogue.
