Greetings,
With so much of the news full of stories about lines being drawn to separate “us” from “them,” it’s refreshing to find stories where those lines are happily crossed. See Why Muslims Celebrate a Jewish Holiday (CNN, via COMMA) and A Woman Named Prayer, in which a Muslim woman shares the Christmas story (ActBeyond).
A great story about Muslim migrants meeting Christian Gypsies is only available to Wall Street Journal subscribers, unfortunately, but worth the read, and that story is all the more poignant if you read about the marginalization of the Roma in Hungary (Foreign Policy).
Did you know that the word Hebrew means “one who crosses over”? What man-made lines might you need to cross?
Blessings,
Pat
