Rabbi Meir Shlomo Kluwgant addressed a group of Victorian Muslims at a City Circle event last weekend in Melbourne, Australia.
The former president of the Rabbinical Council of Victoria and current rabbi at Jewish Care discussed some of the challenges facing the Jewish community.
After the presentation, which also included some background information on the Victorian Jewish community, the group had the opportunity to question Rabbi Kluwgant.
“It was an enlightening experience and I am glad to have been offered the opportunity to talk to the group so openly as it gave me the chance to live the message I have been promoting in relation to multifaith dialogue and engagement,” he said.
Among the topics asked about were interfaith dialogue and commonalities between different religious leaders.
City Circle aims to highlight an Australian Muslim identity while developing friendship and cooperation between Muslim and non-Muslim communities.
GO RABBI KLUWGANT!!!
YOur a legend!
it definitely helps our PR
People have to start thinking, maybe not every single Arab hates jews. It’s not because it says inthe Koran they’re supposed to make are life difficult that it’s still like that now. Just like we don’t have slaves now either. We have to learn to agree to disagree.
We must reach out to the sane Muslims ,this way we can isolate the Extremists.
Everyone sees and knows the truth about Radical Islam,including the Muslims.
The Saudis know it as well as th rest of the muslim world so let’s keep an open line of communication with them ,they are crying out for help and support.
A goy is a goy and u can’t trust an arab, ppl should listen to meir kahana video for more info
Interesting.
Is this issurs tatty because issuer is the best
The fact is that some live within our communities and it is preferable to have a dialogue that promotes tolerance rather than outright confrontation. The picture seems to depict the former. I say tovoy olechoh brocho , Rabbi Kluwgant.
Why are we making nice? It’s working really well so far, isn’t it?
Feh!
THE FACT IS, there are 2 types of Arabs, 1. those that hate us and let us know it and 2. those that hate us and don’t show it. That just about sums up 100% of the Arab population.
I find this hard to swallow
interesting
interpersonal relations with muslims is very important as known as ohr lagoyim
though i cannot beileve in a concept of interfaith diologue because their faith does not in truth and those who are intellectually honest allow the existence of dialogue with another faith as termed by the adage either allah or the sword!
