september project events in and around new york city

similar to 2004 and 2005, there are plenty of september project events in and new jersey and new york city in 2006.


as we approach september 11, there are many events being planned across new york city.


participating for the third year in a row, the brooklyn public library has designed another inspired program:
Once upon a time members of the Catholic, Muslim, and Jewish faiths lived peacefully with one another. They borrowed from and enriched one another's intellectual and cultural traditions. In retrospect, fifteenth-century Spain seems idyllic in this respect. That is why we have chosen to present a concert of music from this period as Brooklyn Public Library's way of commemorating the fifth anniversary of 9/11. The concert, presented by critically acclaimed guitarist Gerard Edery, accompanied by Christian Puig, will take place on Sunday afternoon, September 10 at 2:00 PM.
there are also events across multiple buroughs of new york city sponsored by september eleventh families for peaceful tomorrows.
September 8-14, 2006 / New York City
"Civilian Casualties, Civilian Solutions"

Please find attached a list of public panel events hosted by September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, nominated for the 2003 and 2004 Nobel Peace Prize. To commemorate the 5th anniversary of 9/11, Peaceful Tomorrows is convening 30 families from across the world who have been personally affected by violence and war. These extraordinary individuals are working to break the cycles of violence by promoting justice, reconciliation and genuine peace.
