Each September, we sponsor a nationally known speaker on topics of peace and justice in the Christian-Judeo tradition. The forum is a tribute to a long-time member of our congregation, Alexander Filipov who was killed on September 11, 2001 when Flight 11 crashed into the first tower at the World Trade Center. Al believed that an individual, acting on principles, can make a profound difference in the world. For more information, visit www.alfilipov.org.
