Interfaith Unity Amidst Israel-Hamas Conflict

Interfaith groups like NewGround, a Muslim-Jewish partnership for change, have been working to bring together Jewish and Muslim communities in the midst of the Israel-Hamas conflict. These groups aim to foster understanding and dialogue, focusing on shared issues such as poverty and climate change. Despite the difficulties of the current war, members of these communities are finding inspiration in the conversations and interactions taking place, emphasizing the importance of reaching out, listening, and holding compassion for one another. They encourage individuals to start with themselves, be true to their values, and engage in radical listening to disarm anger and foster healing and reconciliation.
