Interfaith Peace Walk in West Philadelphia

Sunday May 3, 2-5 PM Beginning at Hillel House on Penn Campus
Since November of 2003 Jews, Christians, and Muslims have come together to plan Interfaith Peace Walks for Philadelphia. These walks have included stops for prayers, teaching, singing, and fellowship at mosques, synagogues, churches and Independence Mall. This year's route will begin at Hillel House at the University of Pennsylvania Campus (where Rabbi Lauren will be sending the group of walkers off with an opening prayer), travel to the Philadelphia Masjid and end at the Philadelphia Cathedral. During these walks we have prayed for the safety and freedom of all people. We ask all to embrace hope, not fear and to seek peace through love and justice, not military might. We ask you to join us to show that peace between people of all faiths is possible. This is a Family Friendly event, but please be advised of the length of the walk!
If you have any questions or would like to meet up with fellow Kol Tzedekers before the walk, email jackconviser@hotmail.com.
