NEW ORLEANS (AP) — It’s being billed as an effort to promote interfaith understanding in New Orleans during the weekend of the Martin Luther King holiday.
Jewish and Islamic congregations from two places of worship in the city will jointly host community events, including distribution of meals and canned goods to the needy on Jan. 15.
On Monday, Jan. 17, congregants from both faiths are scheduled to march from the steps of New Orleans City Hall to a memorial on the city’s Claiborne Avenue that features a bust of King, according to a news release from City Council member Arnie Fielkow.
It’s the fourth year in a row for the joint efforts.
Participants are members of Touro Synagogue and the Masjid Ur Raheem.
