In Season 2, Episode 6, Imam Shaheed, Rabbi Uriarte, and Rev. Skidmore discuss same sex marriage, divorce, interfaith marriages, and more. Come and listen.

In episode 5, we begin a conversation about the traditions and practices of wedding ceremonies in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. And we begin to talk about the meaning of marriage itself as an institution. Join us for interfaith conversation!

Jews observe Passover. Christians observe Lent and Easter, and Muslims observe Ramadan. How are these holy seasons observed, and what is their purpose in the lives of the faithful? This episode was recorded in 2025 when all three holy seasons were being observed concurrently. Why do they sometimes happen at the same time and in other years do not? Welcome to Abraham's Table!

Imam Shaheed, Rabbi Uriarte and Rev Fowler Skidmore continue the conversation they began in Episode 2 about death. What do Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe about death? What are the rituals around death in each of our faiths? How do those beliefs affect how we respond to death as people of faith? And what do our traditions teach about what happens after this life?

We begin Season two by exploring how our faith helps us mark and interpret the cycles of life and the rites of passage that are common to everyone. Today we begin at the end . . . . with death. How do Judaism, Christianity, and Islam deal with death? Join us to learn more!

Welcome to Episode ONE of a brand-new season of Abraham's Table! Imam Omar Shaheed and Rev. Ellen Fowler Skidmore welcome Rabbi Erik Uriarte to our interfaith discussions! Today we introduce ourselves, and look forward to a new season of listening and learning! Welcome to Abraham's Table.

As the war between Israel and Gaza grinds on, the suffering and costs of war seem unbearable. Rabbi Case, Imam Shaheed, and Rev. Skidmore talk about what "Peace" really means in each of our faiths and what God's Peace requires of the faithful. How can we become agents for God's peace in the world?

Rabbi Case, Imam Shaheed, and Rev. Skidmore talk about the October 7, 2023 attack of Hamas on Israel and the resulting war. Rather than focus on where we disagree with each other (and we do), we identify and focus on areas where we can agree. Even in the midst of war, we are called to live as faithful Jews, Muslims, and Christians.

Rev. Ellen F. Skidmore reflects on the absence of food laws in the Christian tradition and compares and contrasts Christian practices around food with what we learned about food practices in the Jewish and Muslim faiths.

Imam Shaheed teaches us about the rules and practices governing foods that are both Halal (lawful or permitted) and haram (unlawful and unpermitted) for faithful Muslims. We learn that there are many parallels between Jewish and Muslim practices.
