(CHAKRA) – On the evening of March 11th, Hindu statesman, Rajan Zed, was invited to a Jewish synagogue in Nevada USA, where he discussed Hinduism.
During Shabbat services at the Temple Sinai in Reno, Zed discussed concepts of Hinduism in a question-answer format, where service attenders warmly welcomed him. The Temple Sinai was first established in 1962. The temple Rabbi, Teri Applyby, was presented with the sacred Bhagavad-Gita–ancient Hindu scripture text by Zed himself.
Doug Goodman is President and Tracy Bartlett is the Religious School Director of Temple Sinai which is located in Northern Nevada where Judaism has had a long history since about 1900.
Rajan Zed is well know for his community involvement in faith based organizations. He is one of the panelists for “On Faith”, produced by the Washington Post, known for its interactive conversations on religion. He is Senior Fellow and Religious Advisor to New York’s Foundation for Interreligious Diplomacy and is Directory of Interfaith Relations of Nevada Clergy Association. He is also the Spiritual Advisor to National Association of Interchurch and Interfaith Families. More importantly, he has been titled a world interfaith leader, being awarded the “World Interfaith Leader Award”.
About 14 million people of the world practice Judaism, a monotheistic religion, and their most sacred text is the Torah. Hinduism’s main goal is reaching moksh (liberation), and is the the oldest and third largest religion in the world with about 1 billion adherents.
