Let's reflect during #InterFaithWeek on the importance of co-operation for the good of everyone on earth, and for the future of the earth itself.

#RemembranceSunday brings together our country's leaders - political, military and religious - in remembering the dead. It also marks the beginning of #InterfaithWeek, when we work together as people of faith to make the world a safer, better and more peaceful place (2/2).

This week is #InterfaithWeek when we celebrate the differences between faiths, learn from each other while acknowledging the unity that underlies creation. The Reform Movement supports these efforts with so many of its rabbis, leaders and members involvement in this vital work. https://t.co/uzsAht9Gsu
