Interfaith Initiatives
Jewish-Muslim Dialogue: This series of discussions and dinners connects the Jewish and Muslim communities in the Akron area. Members of Temple Israel and the Faith Islamic Academy meet monthly to dialogue about Jewish-Islamic issues. We follow the curriculum recommended by the Union of Reform Judaism through their Children of Abraham book. The dialogues occur on one Tuesday evening a month starting at 7 pm with the location alternating between Temple Israel and the Islamic Society of Akron and Kent (ISAK) in Cuyahoga Falls. For information, visit the URJ’s Jewish-Muslim Dialogue page.
Interfaith Justice Alliance: Members of Faith Lutheran, St. Hilary’s, New Hope Baptist, and Temple Israel get together to discuss a series of topics around a theme in our community for four weeks through the Christian Lenten season. For more information, see Interfaith Justice Alliance Committee.
