Religion Facts - Just The Facts

Amaranatho — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 20:46:56 +0000

The ReligionFacts "Big Religion Chart" is an attempt to summarize all the complexities of religions and belief systems into tiny little boxes on a single, quick-reference comparison chart. Yes, of course this is impossible. As we always warn with our comparison charts, this is no substitute for reading about religions in greater detail, talking with religious adherents, etc.

Righteous Muslims in the Holocaust

Debbie Young-Somers — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 16:25:46 +0100

This booklet was produced by Faith Matters, and highlights important, often forgotten figures. In the Jewish community we try hard to honour what we call 'Righteous Gentles' - non-Jews who saved Jews from Nazi atrocities. Stories of Righteous Muslims are not as well known, so this is an important booklet from that point of view, but it also challenges us to consider positive stories of Jewish-Muslim relations, and in a time when Muslims feel like all media portrayals are negative, this is a small good news story!

What is it to be a Rabbi

Debbie Young-Somers — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:28:43 +0000

Leo Baeck College (where I studied to be a Rabbi) has produced a series of videos looking at the different elements of working as a Rabbi - these could easily apply to other community leaders I suspect. I am in one of them but they all present a different element of our work, and explore Jewish ideas of community, prayer, interfaith and education...
