The alliance of Jewish, Muslim and Christian communities is holding their annual Harvest Gathering on Sunday.
Volunteers from Piedmont's Kehilla Community Synagogue and Oakland's Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California and Montclair Presbyterian Church and other area congregations appear together at the Islamic center during a recent food distribution event for those in need. An alliance of three communities named above known as the Faith Trio has issued a joint statement expressing their horror at events of Oct.
As has been true of the Faith Trio since its beginning, regular and special activities in the Bay Area bring these commitments to life. Kehilla’s annual Harvest Gathering that was a prepandemic in-person dinner and has since become a vibrant virtual gathering will take place from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Sunday via Zoom.
The Islamic center’s Sheikholeslami says participation in the Faith Trio expands his sense of community. He says providing food to communities in need, joining environmental and social justice protests and holding interfaith art exhibits have been opportunities to interact that enlarge his faith. “I am not alone in the Trio for believing that we are potentially much stronger in moments of crisis because we do not have to start from scratch to get to know each other. We have known each other for over two decades.”
