Keuka College will celebrate World Interfaith Harmony Week, Feb. 1-7, with a variety of events. All events are free and open to the public. Each day, a different religion will be highlighted, with a corresponding activity and presentation scheduled. A continuation of the work begun by the College’s Interfaith Youth Core, events for Keuka College’s World Interfaith Harmony Week have been funded with a grant the College received from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation. Islam will be the featured religion, and members of the College community will celebrate National Hijab Day by learning how to tie a hijab, as well as how to write their name in Arabic from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. in Dahlstrom Student Center. The celebration of Islam continues at 4:30 p.m. with a presentation on the Five Pillars of Islam, with guest speaker Rauf Bawany from the Islamic Center of Rochester. He and another member of the center will also lead both an afternoon and sunset prayer.
