  08-03-2018 06:38
  While we’re all holding our breath waiting for Jared Kushner to “solve” the problems in the Middle East, I’m thinking I might use the time to head to the Brooklyn Jewish Art Gallery at CKI on Thursday night at 8:15pm and listen to personal stories straight from a group of Muslim and Jewish writers on the topic of freedom.
