Audio: Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb's interfaith mission to Iran

July 6, 2008

Chicago Public Radio recently ran a story on Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb’s interfaith mission to Iran.

Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb is the Director of Interfaith Inventions and Co-founder of the Shomer Shalom Institute for Jewish Non-Violence and the Muslim-Jewish Peace Walk. She often leads delegations to the Middle East as part of the Fellowship of Reconciliation. She is ordained in the Jewish Renewal movement, and has been rated in the top 50 American rabbis.

Jews have lived in Iran since 586 BCE. Despite the Iranian government’s well-documented hostility toward Israel and Mahmoud Ahmedinejad’s holocaust denial, Gottlieb reports that Iran is “a country of mystics”, and she was welcomed as a Rabbi with open arms by the Iranian people.
