	Description:		The Jewish-Islamic Dialogue Society of Washington along with the Rumi Forum presented this event that examined religious minority communities in America. January 21st, 2018 2:30 p.m.– 5:00 p.m. Temple Rodef Shalom 2100 Westmoreland Street Falls Church, VA 22043 America is rightfully celebrated for how it protects all religions.
