| Video Discription | Dr. Simran Jeet Singh, professor of religion at Trinity University and Senior Religion Fellow with the Sikh Coalition. He also currently serves as a Truman National Security Fellow for the Truman National Security Project. As a Sikh-American, scholar of religion, and activist for social justice, Singh explores the way the racialization of religious identity has affected communities locally and nationally, as well as how an interfaith community can respond to discrimination and violence. This was our 2017 Rabbi Sigal Memorial lecture. One of the great pioneers of the interfaith movement in West Michigan was Rabbi Dr. Phillip Sigal. Aside from his duties at Ahavas Israel Synagogue, Dr. Sigal was instrumental in opening up the lines of communication among several religions in the area. After his untimely death in 1985, a group of local academics and interfaith enthusiasts established a memorial lecture fund in Rabbi Sigal's honor. From that time forward, IDA has brought to churches, schools and other lecture halls some of the most important voices in religion and social movements of the day. Currently, we host this event biannually. It is important to note that Phillip Sigal's work was carried on in part by his widow, Dr. Lillian Sigal, who led IDA as president for several years. She currently resides near Philadelphia where she continues to be active in interfaith relations. |
