Curious and want to learn more about Islam? In this mini-course we will study the core teachings and beliefs of Islam. How are Judaism and Islam similar? How do they differ?

Parent driver volunteers needed. The trip will include a tour of the mosque, demonstration of Islamic prayer, and an open discussion with the imam and Muslim teens at the center.
