I founded Interfaith Action, In Sharon, MA, a suburb of Boston home to 8 synagogues, 8 churches, a mosque, and large Hindu community. Our primary work is to support high school students to not only engage in interfaith and intercultural dialogue, but to train them to lead dialogues with adults and their peers in the community. (see www.ifaction.org for more information). Dialogue specifically between members of the Jewish and Muslim communities has not been easy--both communities are quite diverse and mistrust abounds. If you are willing, I would be grateful to look at some of your materials, especially those that you feel might best support community dialogue. with appreciation for your work Janet Penn Executive Director Interfaith Action Dear Rabbi Fuchs-Kreimer,
