Spokane Area Jewish Family Services invites the community for a catered dinner featuring Antonio Gómez on Sept. 8

Gómez is an educator and percussionist focused on fostering musical dialogue between cultures. He has studied, performed and recorded in various genres with emphases on Mediterranean and Afro-Latin music.

At the dinner, he will discuss the tensions and conflicts between Jews, Muslims and Christians that appear in the daily news.

According to an announcement, “He will discuss what we can learn when we examine the historical threads and unravel stories of connection and collaboration that defy those headlines.

“Drawing from a story of personal discovery, Gómez leads a vivid and vigorous discussion that reveals medieval Spain as a crossroads connecting the Golden Age of Islam, Sephardic Judaism, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Gómez shows how Spain, as a channel for the flow of ideas and technology into a Europe that was parched by relative isolation, led advances in science, math, poetry, music, architecture and politics that would ripple across the world,” the announcement continued.

The event will take place at Temple Beth Shalom, 1322 E 30th Ave., for a suggested $7 donation.
