Welcome

Jews and Muslims, sharing many traditions of love and respect, are in the midst of a generations-old conflict that has brought about distrust, violence and non-cooperation between the two communities in many corners of the world.

The Center for Jewish-Muslim Relations hopes to strengthen relations between Jews and Muslims in the Greater Boston area through:

• Creating leadership collaboration
• Enabling grassroots education and interaction
• Providing a forum for shared inquiry and communication through the written word

Fulfilling this mission will enable us to fight anti-Semitism and Islamaphobia, enhance Jewish and Muslim identity in a pluralistic society, and work together for the good of the wider community.

We offer:

• Mechanisms to highlight the shared experiences of the two groups
• Support in initiating new dialogue efforts and activities with an emphasis on counterparts from each community (for example doctors, rabbis and imams, educators, social justice groups etc.)
• A Speakers’ Bureau
• Educational materials related to Jewish-Muslim relations
• Training for facilitators of dialogue groups
• Ways to collaborate with existing dialogue efforts
