This month we continued our recognition of the three-year confluence of holy days in the Jewish and Islamic calendars (whereby the Jewish month of Tishrei [the time of Judaism\u2019s High Holy Days] coincides with the Islamic month of Ramadan) and in the calendars of Christians, Hindus and Bah\u00e1\u0384\u00eds. WTB decided to celebrate this unusual event, which will not occur again for another 30 years, by inviting the entire community to join us in visiting seven religious sites and learning about our common spirituality. We called our walk the \u201cJourney to the Tent of Abraham\u201d because Abraham, the Patriarch of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, welcomed travelers from all lands, symbolized by his tent being open on all four sides. Today we used that image to welcome not only the three Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, but all other religions as well. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
