The Rabbi, The Imam and The Power of Dialogue · May 21, 2025 · 34 min

Whose side are you on?

Imam Nasser Kurdy and Rabbi Dovid Lewis explore the roots of their connections to the land at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, questioning whether an attachment to a land is about ownership, heritage or spiritual longing. They discuss what it means to care so deeply about a place neither was born in, and how faith and religion have shaped their perspectives as a pro-Palestine Muslim and a pro-Israel Jew - both living in Manchester. Can a sense of belonging be shared by different peoples with overlapping histories? This is a Mark Schweiger and Larchmont Productions co-production. If you have any comments or suggestions about the podcast please email: mark@schweigers.uk or philip@larchmontfilms.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
