Carr-Ryan Conversations: Faith, Justice, and Human Rights

Please join us for a timely conversation on faith, justice, and human rights with Professor Terrence L. Johnson (Harvard Divinity School) and Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz (President & Dean of Valley Beit Midrash). 


Together they’ll explore how memory and religious traditions shape our ideas of identity and justice, with a focus on Rabbi Shmuly’s Torah-led humanitarian work in Arizona. This engaging event will explore how faith communities can foster deeper commitments to human dignity and justice, and promote concrete, rights-based actions locally and across groups.   


Don't miss this opportunity to hear expert insights and engage in a meaningful dialogue on building a more just and compassionate world.


Open to the community. Pre-registration is required for non-HUID holders.
