Rabbi Ralph Kingsley and Minister Priscilla Felisky Whitehead lead an interfaith conversation series at Vi at Aventura retirement community. This initiative aims to explore religious topics usually avoided in casual discussions. Both leaders, experienced in their faith communities, emphasize connection over confrontation during these discussions. Residents engage in deep conversations about complex questions regarding faith and spirituality, examining what it means to be religious and how different religions approach inclusiveness and tragedy. Their approach is centered around listening and understanding.
Kingsley stated, "The whole point of this was to demonstrate that people who call themselves religious, albeit in totally different ways, can come out in the same place and have a sense of commonality between us."
Whitehead emphasized, "We're not here to persuade or to convince others of our positions necessarily; we're here to listen generously."
