This week, I headed to downtown DC to visit the interfaith intentional living project, Abrahamic House. The project brings together young people of different religious traditions to live together for a year and provide a space to learn from one another about their traditions and also create public programming for others to do the same. The project is the brainchild of Mohammed Al Samawi, an interfaith activist, Yemeni refugee, and the author of the best-selling memoir The Fox Hunt, which was published in 2018 and is now in development as a feature film with Steven Spielberg. Mohamed invited me to join him at the Abrahamic House, to learn about the origins of this unique program and meet a couple of the fellows, Kelly Moltzen and Abby Shulman. Together, Mohammed and current Abrahamic House fellows Kelly Moltzen and Abbie Shulman and I discussed how the TV show Friends inspired the project, what the biggest point of tension is between these new roommates, and how they are living out the house motto of gathering, not othering.

Mohammed Al Samawi is an interfaith activist, a refugee from Yemen and the author of best-selling autobiography The Fox Hunt: A Refugee's Memoir of Coming To America. Mohammed's personal journey led him from harboring a deep suspicion of other faiths to becoming a peace advocate. A critical, powerful encounter with a teacher challenged him to learn about the Bible and Judaism, rerouting him from a path of likely violence. Mohammed's journey to interfaith commitment ultimately saved his life, when four years ago four American strangers helped rescue him from extremist groups in Yemen. Mohammed remains committed to the exchange of core values that define our religious traditions and hopes to advance this work through his interfaith organization, the Abrahamic House, to build sustainable interfaith learning and action across Muslim, Jewish, Christian and Baha'i communities in order to foster an environment of learning, respect and social change. Fox 2000 Pictures, La La Land producer Marc Platt and Josh Singer, Academy Award winner for best original screenplay for Spotlight, are developing the movie The Fox Hunt, based on Mohammed's autobiography. Mohammed was covered by People Magazine, New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, C-SPAN among others. https://www.abrahamichouse.org/ www.HumanityRising.org --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/humanity-rising-voices/support

Marble has been a pioneer in interfaith cooperation in New York City. One of the ways we lift up the importance of interfaith relationships is through our annual “Trialogue.” This year during our service Dr. Bos will have a conversation with Mohammed Al Samawi, author of The Fox Hunt, and Daniel Pincus, about how a victimized Muslim interfaith advocate in Yemen was saved by a Jew from New York. Worship also includes a special video with Jazz pianist Joey Alexander performing his small, yet poignant part in Mohammed’s story. Worship followed by Talk Back in the Sanctuary and a Book Signing in the Marble Loft. We celebrate our Tri-Faith Sunday as part of the United Nations’ World Interfaith Harmony Week. Invite friends to join you for this special experience.

One man's journey from tyranny to freedom and questioning life along the way.

Peace activist Mohammed Al Samawi joins us to recount his daring escape from Al Qaeda in Yemen with the help of a small group of strangers on Facebook. Through the personal story of this "Global Ambassador for Peace," learn about the history of Yemen, the complexity of interfaith issues, and the ongoing refugee crisis in the Middle East.

As extremist groups surrounded his apartment in Aden, Yemen, Mohammed Al Samawi made a last-ditch appeal for help from his Facebook network. Amazingly, over the course of two weeks, four near-strangers devised a daring mission to lead him to safety — an improbable journey that spanned six technological platforms and ten time zones. Al Samawi shares his moving story in the new book The Fox Hunt, which was picked up last year for a film adaptation by La La Land producer Marc Platt and the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Spotlight, Josh Singer. Al Samawi joined IVY for a live conversation in NYC to tell the tale of his miraculous escape to freedom from war, rebel fighters, and Al-Qaeda extremists.

Includes a Gratitude Ritual.This week we welcome interfaith activist and author, Mohammed Al Samawi, to share his story on how he escaped a war-torn Yemen through the help of four strangers he met on Facebook. Crazy right? Mohammed details his experience growing up in a country ruled by dictatorship and the limiting beliefs that came from a lack of education. As he began to connect with people globally through social media, he discovered there were far more similarities than differences with the people he’d been taught to hate throughout his childhood. His newfound discovery brought him a sense of purpose and excitement to share the truth and become an activist. Mohammed shares his experience as evidence that through supporting other humans and speaking the language of love, we can achieve anything we want to do.Show Notes: www.DENtalksPodcast.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dentalks-powered-by-den-meditation7294/donations
