Announcing New Series: Sister Texts? Comparing the Qur'an and Torah

Join us for the enriching new series - Sister Texts? Comparing the Qur'an and Torah - where we explore similarities and differences between the Qur'an and Torah. There will 8 sessions over Michaelmas 2021 and Lent 2022.

Led by Rabbi Elazar Symon, Alissa Symon, Mohammed Ahmed and Dunya Habash, the sessions include Torah and Qur'anic recitation, semantic analysis of Hebrew and Arabic verses and lively debate and discussion related to various themes including the creation narrative, ethnic identity, esoteric verses and more.
