15th Annual Muslim-Jewish Christmas-y Roundtable

For 15 years, the Muslim-Jewish Christmas (MJC) has brought together Muslims and Jews (and others of faith) around Houston to break bread, laugh, cry, and learn from one another.

For this year’s MJC, we will explore the impact of the recent Israeli-Palestinian conflict upon our communities here in Houston. This program will not be easy, and is an opportunity to connect and learn about one another’s pain, grievances, anger, and hope for the future.

Registration will be limited to ages 24 and above. Seats are limited to ensure strong discussion.

The goal of this event has always been very simple—to come together on a day when we have no other commitments and discuss our perspectives regarding a specific theme. You don’t need to be a scholar to discuss your views. You just need to be able to voice your opinions with honesty and compassion and have the ability to listen to another side.

Date: Sunday, December 21st
Time: 12:00p – 2:30p
