Guests joined the fellows for another iteration of their Shabbat Conversation Club series.
They delved into a favorite quote of our Muslim fellow, Daud, from Saadat Hasan Manto’s “A Tale of 1947”:
“Pointing to the horizon where the sea and sky are joined, he says, ‘It is only an illusion because they can’t really meet, but isn’t it beautiful, this union which isn’t really there.'”
Saadat Hasan Manto, celebrated for his bold narratives and unflinching portrayal of truth, often examined the depths of human emotions and societal taboos. During their Shabbat dinner, the fellows and their guests explored Manto’s short story “A Tale of 1947” and discussed how he captures the complex essence of human conflict and emotion.
