This lecture is an invitation by the Amadeu Antonio Foundation to reflect on interreligious understanding.  The Israeli journalist Yossi Klein Halevi shows where to look for sources for mutual respect within religions, where those sources are to be found despite their use in political fights, in his book, "At the Entrance to the Garden of Eden", which was recently published in German by Eos Press.




Together with the Karl-Konrad-and-Ria-Groeben-Foundation, the Maecenata Institute for Philanthropy and Civil Society at the Humboldt University in Berlin and the Freudenberg Foundation, the Amadeu Antonio Foundation would like to invite you to Yossi Klein-Halevi’s lecture:

Jossi Klein-Halevi about this lecture:
"I will talk about the spiritual reasons for my pilgrimage, as a believing Jew, to Christianity and to Islam and about what I have learned from those two religions. I will also explain the meaning of this interreligious adventure for today. To conclude, the lecture explores the possible consequences of my journey for peace in the Middle East and the change of consciousness needed to make peace possible."
