(Jewish Journal) The American Jewish Committee (AJC) is working to deepen engagement with American Muslim communities, institutions and leaders by creating a listening tour.
The AJC opened a dialogue in Washington, D.C., this week with leadership from Masjid Muhammad, the Nation’s Mosque, the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Center, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) among others.
Talking points included the joint battle fighting bigotry and hate crimes against Muslims and Jews, identifying and combating misperceptions and navigating intercommunal conversations regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Stanley Bergman, AJC honorary president and Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council (MJAC) national co-chair, and David Inlander, AJC Interreligious Affairs Commission chair, led the delegation.
