For 18 years, Temple Israel has been involved in an interfaith dialogue with Dr. James Howell, currently of Myers Park United Methodist Church. Over the years, Rabbi Ezring & Dr. Howell have become good friends and are not afraid to approach any subject in their discussions together, no matter how delicate.

With this next interfaith dialogue, the Rabbi and Dr. Howell will discuss the meaning of the land of Israel for both Jews and Christians.
