Having just celebrated Easter and Passover and looking forward to Ramadan in the coming weeks, our March meeting was full of valuable discussions over the ways we've celebrated these holidays during a pandemic! We compared the progress that has been made in terms of virtual worship over the past year and explored the phenomenon of virtual bar mitzvahs. Thanks to everyone who joined and we look forward to the next meeting where we will be partaking in Ramadan services and celebrations!

February 2021: "Feasting and Fasting" Ash Wednesday Service
Hello all! In 2021, IFYM has been choosing a religion to focus on each month and then attending a religious service corresponding to that religion. This month, we focused on Christianity and attended an Ash Wednesday service hosted virtually by the United Church of Christ. Join us as we speak with Pastor Aaron of Coral Gables UCC following the service! He answers questions, teaches us about where the ashes for the service come from, and provides insight on the cycle of "feasting and fasting" that exists within the liturgical calendar!

October 2020: Politics and Religion
Welcome to another Interfaith Youth Miami meeting! Due to COVID-19, we have moved our meetings to Zoom, but we've continued to record them and upload them as podcasts for everyone to listen in on!

March 2020 "Art and Religion"
We're back with IFYM for our first *zoom* podcast given the situation with COVID-19.
In this virtual meeting, we spent time talking about how our respective faiths help us cope with the situation with COVID-19 and how religion can be an outlet during this very difficult time. Another outlet we discussed was art and media and how these influences play a role in religion from our personal experiences. This episode is a little on the longer side, but we hope you all take part in our discussions from wherever you may be listening!
Note to listeners: This footage is raw for the most part and meant to highlight the candid nature of our conversations. A small warning, however, because it tends to get loud at times (especially with how much we tend to laugh) and there is food involved so you may hear part of that as well! Again, we hope you all enjoy it and learn even a little bit along the way.
Among other events we do around the city, IFYM meets monthly and have really interesting discussions about religion, society, and growing up in the U.S through the lens of our perspective faiths and cultures. Follow us on Instagram @ifymiami

Happy New Year! January 2020 meeting
Welcome back! We're back with IFYM's first meeting of the 2020 year!
In our first meeting of the year, we spend a little time discussing our respective new years' traditions and our personal resolutions for the new year. We also learn a little more about the Islamic and Jewish new years, which are very different from the traditional new year!
Note to listeners: This footage is raw for the most part and meant to highlight the candid nature of our conversations. A small warning, however, because it tends to get loud at times (especially with how much we tend to laugh) and there is food involved so you may hear part of that as well!

December 2019 episode pt. 2 "From History books to Prayer nooks"
In this second half of our December meeting, we begin with a little history lesson into how religion has been a source for reforms and discussed conversion practices, and even brainstormed an idea for students to be able to pray at school!
Note: This footage is raw for the most part and meant to highlight the candid nature of our conversations. A small warning, however, because it tends to get loud at times + there is food involved so you may hear part of that as well! Again, we hope you all enjoy it.

December 2019 episode "Tis the season!" Pt.1
This is the first IFYM meeting turned into a podcast!
In this December meeting, we began by talking about different faith traditions around the wintertime and the conversation took off from there! This footage is raw for the most part and meant to highlight the candid nature of our conversations. A small warning, however, because it tends to get loud at times + there is food involved so you may hear part of that as well! We hope you all enjoy.
Our conversation lasted quite a while, so this is just the first half of our meeting's discussion.
This episode originally was on "The Hybrid", which is a podcast our former co-president, Aisha Chebbi, runs (check it out!).
