April 25th, 2013- Richmond, VA. Bon Air Presbyterian Church, Bon Air United Methodist Church, OR AMI Congregation, Virginia Muslim Coalition for Public Affairs, St Edward Catholic Church. and the Islamic Center of Virginia are launching their fifth annual interfaith trialogue in 2013. Their is to deepen mutual understanding and appreciation among the three Abrahamic religious communities. The three communities will meet three evenings in May to understand each other’s traditions and build better relations. The organizers stressed the importance of such communication, because it helps us appreciate our respective faiths as good neighbors, leads to goodwill and mutual understanding, and provides a model of neighborhood harmony in Chesterfield County and the region. They see these gatherings as important opportunities to address religious, ethical, and moral issues facing the Richmond region. The organizers stress that one does not need uniformity to seek common ground. The events are open to the public and start at 7:00 pm. Free parking and refreshments will be available.

Looking for a few good teachers

Sure, it’s nice sleeping in on Sunday mornings, having that second cup of coffee in your bathrobe while reading in the newspaper about all the bad stuff happening in the world and hearing everyone kvetch on all the talking-head news shows on TV. What could possibly be better than this?  How about touching the lives of our children, showing reverence to God, and making a contribution towards the survival of the Jewish people?

We have a few openings for teachers at the Religious School next year.  Teaching experience and Jewish knowledge preferable, but ability to work with children and willingness to learn are essential.  Contact David Goldsmith 804-740-0869 or OrAmiSchool@gmail.com
