Other Considerations:

• It starts with Closed Captioning on (CC). If you prefer to remove the text from the screen, find the CC button which will provide the option to turn it off;
• There was a food break that started around 1:36 (H:MM). The service recommences at !:54, so you can skip over that section.
• The microphone was somewhat directional, and thus only faintly picked up the laughter during the Celebration. So when you hear faint sounds of laughter, the room was at times bursting with laughter.  Naturally, there were also sad moments, so keep some tissues close by as well.

Learn about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict             
At Encounter World Religions, our mission is to promote understanding not only of one another but of the forces that shape the world we live in.

The crisis in Israel and Palestine is leading to many deaths and a war. In addition, there have been surges of antisemitism and Islamophobia across the globe that I did not expect to see in my lifetime. To help you understand this conflict better, Encounter is offering a free online talk:

🔹 Background to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict 🔹
🔹Thursday November 9th, 2023 at 7:00pm - 8:30pm EST🔹

Our talk aims to bring some clarity to help you understand this complicated issue and how it is impacting people in the communities where you live. We hope you will join us.
