In her presentation, Rabbi Kreimer describes work she has done in multifaith settings, sharing spiritual practices for the cultivating of character for conversation across differences. Rabbi Kreimer is Associate Professor of Religious Studies and the founding Director of the Department of Multifaith Studies and Initiatives at the Reconstructionist Rabbinnical College. She is introduced by K.I. Senior Rabbi Amy Bernstein.
