After listening to the powerful stories of three women, we broke into small groups to share our own stories of loss and redemption.

Concerns were raised about national and local issues, and initiatives promoting interfaith understanding in Syracuse were announced.

Women shared with each other their joys and sorrows and their reasons for being a part of WTB. Over and over, they described their joy in being connected with women of different faiths and the need to encourage diversity and deepen our understanding of each other.
