Please join us for this Ramadan program, jointly presented by Temple Kol Ami and Noor Cultural Centre: 

An Anishinaabe-Jewish-Muslim conversation on human relationships with other-than-humans – what does it mean to be human? how do we understand/re-conceptualize the human-nonhuman divide from the perspective of our traditions? what are human obligations of justice and love towards other-than-humans?
