Multicultural Celebration of the Winter Holidays on Eastern Standard

Marisa Hempel

At this time of the year, we tend to focus on celebrations of our own religions or cultures. But the winter holidays can also bring people of differing backgrounds together.

On this week’s EST,  we’ll discuss ways to enjoy the  “most wonderful time of the year” while including the traditions and customs of those unlike our own.

 

 
Guests this week include:
Anthony Everitt - Pastor of the Wesley United Methodist Church in Lexington, Ky.

Dr. Nadia Rasheed- A member of Masjib Bilal; one of three mosques located in Lexington, Ky, and a Board-Certified Anaesthesiologist in Georgetown, Kentucky.

Moshe Smolkin - Rabbi of the Ohavay Zion Synagogue in Lexington, Ky.

We’re interested in your questions, personal stories or comments about YOUR winter celebrations before the show at wekueasternstandard@gmail.com, or at 859-622-1657.

Or call in when you tune in for EST, Thursday morning at 11:00 on WEKU.
