DETAILS

This event requires registration through online ticket purchase before 10:00 pm CDT on Sunday, May 4, both for accurate numbers for the dinner as well as for security purposes. Therefore, we will be unable to accept registration the day of the event. Tri-Faith staff will be checking in attendees at the lower doors. Ready for our next Fed-U-Cation? Our May session will be presented by scholar, author, and co-president of the Shalom Hartman Institute, Dr. Yehuda Kurtzer, in conjunction with the Jewish Federation of Omaha’s 2025 Tapestry programming celebrating Jewish learning. Religion is both a private exercise and a public activity in America, and the joy of living alongside people of other faiths creates demands on us to find ways to support and stand with one another - even as we value our differences, and even when we don’t fully agree. This obligation is tested in contentious times - during a divisive war that involves faith communities, and during a partisan American moment - and these are times for us to ask: what are the core commitments that make interfaith allyship and activism possible? And how might we sustain the momentum of this work even as our battle lines are drawn? We are excited to continue our collaboration with House of Bah Foundation. As part of their Eat N' Talk Africa program, House of Bah will be providing culturally affirming cuisines for our Fed-U-cation program. Chef Jamil typically cooks halal food without pork and includes vegan options. For this event, House of Bah Foundation will be making a “kosher-style” meal: no pork, no shellfish, and no dairy for this meal. If you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions, please let the Tri-Faith staff know as soon as possible so we can alert Chef Jamil.
