Explore religious traditions of the world in a three-part series

By Ida Margolis

Do you know that the Hindu festival symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance?” What do Buddhists believe? How can bridging the past with the future promote greater understanding between people from different faiths?”

Historian, teacher, author, researcher, archeologist and international educational consultant Dr. Steven L. Derfler will answer these questions and many more in a three-part series, “Introduction to Religious Traditions of the World,” brought to you by the Jewish Federation of Greater Naples.

This opportunity to become more religiously literate requires only that you Zoom in on three Tuesdays in October— Oct. 13, 20 and 27 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. In order to join Dr. Derfler via Zoom, please register at www.jewishnaples.org. The cost for this three-part series is $18 per household.

This exploration of religions can help you on your path to religious literacy, which is now more important than ever.
