Sonoma State University Associated Students Productions and the Student Union present Dr Henry Shreibman as he discusses the shared heritage of three of the most popular religious groups in the United States: Islam, Judaism and Christianity. The lecture is part of the 'What Can I Do?' lecture series and takes place on Wednesday, May 9 at 8 p.m. in the Sonoma Student Union Multi-Purpose Room. Admission is free to the general public.
The influential and compelling lecture series continues with Rabbi Henry Shreibman as he helps to find the common ground between Islam, Judaism and Christianity, often seen as opponents in their views of God. Shreibman will take the audience back over 2500 years of religious history showing the customs and traditions that unite the three Abrahamic religions and where they have diverged.
This lecture will concentrate on historical fact, not on the contemporary interpretations and political circumstances surrounding the relationship between these groups. This lecture is open to all levels of experience and requires no intimate knowledge of religious history. Audience members should come with an open mind, and an eagerness to learn and participate.
Rabbi Shreibman received his M.A. in Hebrew letters and title of rabbi from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and his Ph.D. in comparative Semitic literature and religion from Columbia University. He earned a master of philosophy and a master of arts from Columbia, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dickinson College and Hebrew University. Shreibman is an adjunct faculty member at Dominican University and UC Davis.
