A Miami synagogue hosted the son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad during Shabbat services last Friday. “I feel very much at home in soul with you. I feel your purity and peace,” Imam W. Deen Muhammad, who years ago rejected his father’s black separatist beliefs, told the congregation at the Temple Israel of Greater Miami. Rabbi Jeffrey Kahn said he hoped the event would prompt “a very special relationship between Jews and Muslims in the community.”
