Description:
Religion has often been used to justify social and political oppression—from centuries-old caste discrimination and Hindutva-fueled hostility toward Muslims in India to Zionism’s defense of colonialism and displacement in Palestine, leading to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. This urgent interfaith dialogue brings together Hindu and Jewish voices to confront these injustices and explore how our traditions can inspire truth-telling, resistance, and solidarity.

Join panelists Umesh Kabir and Rabbi Alissa Wise, moderated by Dr. Linda Hess, as they share how their religious philosophy and practice challenge the misuse of faith to uphold systems of oppression.

This month’s discussion—part of Hindus for Human Rights’ Baithaks for Liberation series—will focus on building unity across faiths to resist religious supremacy and stand for justice and love for all.
