Jews, Muslims partner to fight Islamophobia, anti-Semitism

[oberliner]

Jewish and Islamic leaders from across the United States and Canada will confront anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in a first-of-its kind twinning event this weekend.

The first-ever Weekend of Twinningsm will be held on November 21-23, and comes on the heels of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia’s visit to the United Nations. The Weekend of Twinningsm resulted from a resolution passed at the National Summit of Imams and Rabbis held last year in New York and hosted by The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU). The success of the National Summit led organizers to expand the interfaith dialogue model to include congregations across North America to directly confront instances of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism.

In North America these things are possible, now if we could just spread it out a little, well ok a lot....

2. Very good!

I have had the honor of participating in Shabboth and with praying and dancing with rabbis, priests, and imams (and folks of other spiritual paths). This can happen. We are brothers and sisters and should help one another out.
