B. Yehoshua's The Liberated Bride attests, constantly and inevitably intersect. The crosscurrents of religious and territorial demands have created a vexatious and seemingly insoluble problem. In this program we will explore the communal, political and religious dimensions of Israeli/Palestinian relations, through the first-hand accounts of an interfaith panel of seminary students and newly ordained clergy who have recently participated in an intensive program in Israel and Palestinian territory created by the Auburn Theological Seminary and the American Jewish Committee, (NY). PANELISTS: RABBI JUSTUS BAIRD, moderator, serves as Director of the Center for Multifaith Education at Auburn Theological Seminary, NYC, where he oversees the seminary's multifaith programming. Ordained at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, where he studied as a Wexner Graduate Fellow, he received a B.S. from Rice University and a certificate in Strategic Human Resource Management from Harvard Business School. He has taught, preached in and consulted with seminaries, churches, synagogues, mosques, and interfaith organizations. He teaches the Multifaith Seminar in the Multifaith Doctorof Ministry Program, a partnership between Auburn and New York Theological Seminary. JOSHUA FRANKEL, an alumnus of Yeshivat Har Etzion and an IDF combat veteran, moved from Israel to New York three years ago to attend YCT rabbinical school. He received his BA in economics from Hebrew University, is a Wexner graduate fellow and a rabbinical intern at the New Israel Fund. He will receive his Orthodox rabbinical ordination this June.
