Saba-Nur Cheema & Meron Mendel

In the organizer's words:

• Muslim-Jewish dinner
• How can we work together?
• In dialog

They couldn't be more different: Saba-Nur Cheema's family comes from Pakistan and grew up in a hotspot district of Frankfurt, characterized by conservative Muslim community life. Meron Mendel was born in Israel and grew up in a kibbutz in the middle of the desert, influenced by military service in the West Bank and Lebanon, before coming to Germany to study. As a couple, they look at the increasingly polarized world together and talk about it. At the dinner table, they reflect on everyday life in Frankfurt and the big questions of our time - and how everything is connected. It turns out how enlightening each other's view can be and how many similarities there are in the supposed differences. Together they make a plea for openness, even in difficult times.

Saba-Nur Cheema is a political scientist and anti-racism trainer and advises the German government on issues such as Islamophobia.

Meron Mendel studied pedagogy and Jewish history in Haifa and Munich, completed his doctorate in Frankfurt and is now a professor of social work and director of the Anne Frank Educational Center.
