Members of the group get ready for an eventful day Friday.
We all got dressed up to attend a sermon at a Mosque in Wayland, MA, which gave the non-Muslims a chance to witness the experience of a different faith's worship. The women covered their hair with scarves to show modesty, and everyone removed their shoes upon entering, as the Muslim Mosque requires. The Mosque sermon, which lasted about 40 minutes, was very serious and professional. Later that day, we attended Shabbat services at Brandeis University and dinner to celebrate the beginning of the Jewish Sabbath on Friday at sundown. We had the choice to attend a traditional service, orthodox service, or a reform service. The traditional and orthodox were completely in Hebrew, and the reform was in Hebrew but with some English. Anna, Neha, and Chelsea attended the reform service. We found it very welcoming, spirtually fun, and energetic with music/singing. Seeing these religious services helped us gain a deeper understanding of other faiths.
