23rd Annual World Sabbath of Religious Reconciliation

The InterFaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit is Hosting the 23rd Annual World Sabbath of Religious Reconciliation. Plan to join us for an interfaith experience of music, dance, and prayer on Sunday, March 19th, 2023, at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield from 4-6 p.m. Eastern Time. This event is open to the public of all ages, faiths, and religions.

The mission of the World Sabbath is to teach our diverse population in Metro Detroit that the work of building a community of justice, equality, respect, and peace is a calling we all share – all of us, no matter what our faith tradition might be. Featuring a Children’s Procession of Peace, this annual program developed in 2000, highlights God is a God of peace and that all faiths are called upon to build a world of tolerance and justice. Most importantly, we are impacting our children, our teens, and our young adults. The World Sabbath processional includes children of many faith traditions, proudly waving peace banners they decorated themselves. These children come together to sing the song “We Are Children of Peace.”

Raman Singh, Executive Director of The InterFaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit, is being honored with the 2023 World Sabbath Peacemaker Award. She is recognized as someone who is making a difference in the interfaith world by bringing people together to build community.
