Heal the Rift 2008 is an event that will be held in Washington Square Park on July 19th, from 3pm to 7pm and is open to the public. The event is organized by "Heal the Rift", a student-led, non-political, non-profit organization aimed at promoting cross-cultural dialogue and understanding between moderate Westerners and Muslims. Confirmed speakers and performers include:
- Lance Trumbull: the organizer, creator, and expedition leader for the successful joint Palestinian-Israeli climb of Mount Everest, and the history-making documentary, Everest: A Climb for Peace.
- Dr. Ali Yurtsever: the President of the Rumi Forum, a DC-based organization whose principal goal is to promote peace in the world and contribute to a peaceful coexistence of the adherents of different faiths, cultures, ethnicities, and races.

- Azhar Usman: a Chicago-born Muslim Comedian of Indian origin. His sole goal, through comedy, is to promote better understanding of Islam and Muslims.
