Good friends are organizing this great event Sunday in NYC.

***
You are invited to join a Children of Abraham Peace Walk from the Islamic Society of Bayridge, Brooklyn to the Park Slope Jewish Center on June 18th, Father’s Day, in honor of the Father of us all. Come meet your neighbors — Jewish, Muslim, and Christian; American, Israeli, Palestinian, Egyptian, Pakistani, Yemenite, Lebanese, Latino, and more. This is a walk, not a march; all political commitments and orientations are welcome.
Imam Shata – who may be familiar to you from the NY Times cover stories that featured his visionary leadership – has inspired his large, traditional Muslim community to participate in this walk following their afternoon prayers; they eagerly look forward to walking alongside their Jewish neighbors as a shared expression of their desire for peace and mutual understanding. We as Jewish leaders often lament the lack of opportunities for Jewish-Muslim contact. Here is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate, visibly, our commitment to peace and relationships with our neighbors.
