2021 Virtual Celebration of Abraham
The planners of the Celebration of Abraham are holding a “virtual” celebration from 3 to 4 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 31, to ensure the safety of our participants. The Celebration of Abraham represents the only interfaith organization guided by the laity. Organizers believe it is important for the community to come together for mutual support and, therefore we will hold a virtual celebration. This led to the 2021 topic: Practicing Humility in Difficult Times. The three leaders to offer guidance grounded in their faith traditions on how people can go forward to help heal the world: Dr. Travis Lybbert (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), Rabbi Greg Wolfe (Congregation Bet Haverim) and Dr. Mairaj Syed (Religious Studies UCD and the Muslim DEIN). Randy Farris will again lead the Children of Abraham. The group will also raise donations for the Yolo Food Bank (https://yolofoodbank. org/donate).
