9/11 Fifteenth Anniversary – New York University Chaplains Imam Khalid Latif and Rabbi Yehuda Sarna were both students in New York on September 11, 2001. Both men say the events of that day profoundly shaped what would become their mission: interfaith engagement. Today, they help lead NYU’s Global Center for Academic and Spiritual Life, which has become a model for other universities. Kim Lawton talks with Latif, Sarna and some of their students about the lingering impact of 9/11 and their vision for interfaith relations based on personal friendships.
