This was the first-ever event in the United Arab Emirates where Jews, Muslims and Christians discussed sustainability, with topics including environmental preservation, the climate crisis, and the importance of religion and ethics in addressing these challenges.
The discussion, held on the International Day of Peace on Sept. 21, highlighted YU's continued commitment to deepening ties and spreading Jewish values in the global community.
"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."
