Rebecca Nathanson organized Sarajevo450, a series of public workshops from Aug. 18-22 centered around relations between Jews and Muslims in the Balkans. The events were held at Bais Abraham Congregation, Central Reform Congregation, and Webster University, among other places.

Mirjam Tauber, a Sarajevo-born artist, led a cooking class on Sephardic food at Bais Abraham, and her husband, Bosnian Jewish historian Eli Tauber, spoke at Webster about relations between Muslims and Jews during World War II and at other time periods in the Balkans.
