The Persistence of Religious Violence Against Christians in Africa with Mariam Wahba
We are proud to present Mariam Wahba, a research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who will lead the discussion of the plight of persecuted Christians in Africa. She will examine the Janjaweed guerrillas in the genocide against Christians in 2003 in Darfur, Sudan and the influence of the Janjaweed in the Boko Haram, the Islamic State and the anti-Christian violence in Nigeria. This talk will confront the scale and persistence of religious violence across the continent, challender prevailing narratices that obscure its causes, and ask what moral and policy obligations follow from continued global inaction.

Bus Trip to Kehila Kedosha Janina
Kehila Kedosha Janina is the only Romaniote synagogue in the Western Hemisphere. Romaniote Jews are a unique community of Jewish people whose history in Greece dates back over two thousand three hundred years to the time of Alexander the Great. The Romaniotes are historically distinct from the Sephardim, who settled in Greece after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492.
