Eboo Patel Visits Hebrew College, Promotes New Book, and Champions BILI

Eboo Patel, the founder and president of Interfaith America, visited Hebrew College at the invitation of the Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership and promoted his new book, We Need to Build: Field Notes for Diverse Democracy. Interfaith America is an important partner in the Miller Center’s undergraduate Building Interfaith Leadership Initiative (BILI) Launchpad Fellowship.

Patel spoke alongside longtime friend Rabbi Or Rose, director of the Miller Center, on topics including the origins of Interfaith America, how to let religion bridge rather than divide us, and the Muslim influence on blues music.
