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). To sign up for the event that will be hosted both on ZOOM and Facebook please go to the website for more informatio­n: www.celebratio­nofabraham.net.
