Screening and Discussion: ABRAHAM’S BRIDGE (2024, short documentary)
The short film ABRAHAM’S BRIDGE documents an experiment in intentional proximity in the American Midwest. On 38 acres in Omaha, Nebraska, a mosque, synagogue, church, and interfaith center have built side-by-side: they are connected by a circular wooden bridge, a vast organic donation garden, and a quietly disruptive vision. Yet as the Tri-Faith co-location project takes shape, they must confront difficult questions about the limits of the Abrahamic model, declining religious affiliation, and rising currents of division. After October 7, 2023, the communities can no longer avoid the topic of Israel/Palestine and must find a way forward together. Production on this film was completed in November 2024. The total running time of the film is 36 minutes.
Please join the Department of Religious Studies and the Program in Judaic Studies at Brown University for our annual reception.
The Department of Religion at Columbia University and the Institute for Religion, Culture, and Public Life (IRCPL) invite alumni, faculty, friends, and current and prospective graduate students to join us for a reception. All are welcome.
