Building Bridges: Jewish and Muslim Americans Unite Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict

Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, Jewish and Muslim Americans are finding common ground through organizations like the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom, which brings together women from both faiths to foster understanding, support, and work towards peace. Through conversations and shared experiences, members explore the impact of Israel and Palestine on their identities and emotions, while emphasizing mutual respect and listening. Journalist and peace activist Aziz Abu Sarah, who lost his brother in the conflict, has built friendships and facilitated dialogue between people with different backgrounds through dual narrative tours and online discussions. Despite the pain and loss experienced by those directly impacted, efforts to bridge divides and promote understanding offer hope for a better future.
