As Artificial Intelligence becomes increasingly present in our lives—shaping our relationships, decisions, even our spiritual reflections—it invites profound questions at the intersection of technology and theology.
Our panelists, Ven. Sagarananda Tien (Vice President, Buddha’s Wisdom Association), Rabbi Geoffrey A. Mitelman (Founding Director, Sinai and Synapses), and Muhammad Ahmad (Resident Fellow, Harborview Medical Center), will consider what happens when intelligence is no longer only human.

Contemporary Issues Through a Faith Lens: Immigration

At a time when immigrants are again in the crosshairs of American politics, join us for a thoughtful discussion about how local and national faith-based organizations and their leaders are navigating these challenging times. Rabbi Sarah Bassin (Rabbi in Residence, HIAS), Rev. Julio Hernandez (Interim Executive Director, Congregation Action Network), and Diana Brown (Associate Director, Faith Matters) will discuss how their sacred texts speak to this moment, how they impact their work and what actions the larger DMV community can do to support all who chose to live here.
