Dear Friends,

This weekend, November 13 -15, marks the beginning of the 2nd annual Weekend of Twinningsm of mosques and synagogues across North America and Europe. We are proud to announce that 100 mosques and 100 synagogues from across North America and Europe will be participating.
 
Once again, The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding is organizing this groundbreaking effort, which is endorsed by the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the World Jewish Congress and the Canadian Association of Jews and Muslims.
 
"For generations, there have been a series of misunderstandings by Jews and Muslims on what the other religious community believes and practices," said Rabbi Marc Schneier, president of The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding and co-organizer of the Weekend of Twinningsm.  "These misperceptions and other societal and political factors have unfortunately led to tensions between our two communities.  From New York to California, from Canada to Paris, Russia and everywhere in between, Muslims, Jews, imams and rabbis will lead discussions, workgroups and panels on ways to confront hate in our communities."
