About
The Israel-Hamas war and its polarizing repercussions in America have strained Muslim-Jewish interfaith relationships in the United States. However, many people fail to see the similarities between the two groups. In their new book Following Similar Paths: What American Jews and Muslims Can Learn from One Another, Professor Samuel Heilman and Professor Mucahit Bilici highlight these similarities. Professors Heilman and Bilici join Moment Magazine Editor Sarah Breger and MALA (Muslim American Leadership Alliance) Founder and President Zainab Khan for a conversation about how Jews and Muslims follow similar paths in their American experience.
This program serves as the official launch of Beni Adam/Bnei Adam: Restoring Humanity, a joint program series sponsored by MALA (Muslim American Leadership Alliance) and Moment Magazine. With the disturbing rise in antisemitism and anti-Muslim bigotry that has unfolded across the country since October 7th, MALA and Moment have joined forces to promote and restore a sense of humanity amidst an era marked by widespread dehumanization. Beni Adam/Bnei Adam: Restoring Humanity aims to foster empathy, understanding, and respect across diverse communities, counteracting the negative forces that seek to divide and dehumanize people based on their differences. Through our collaborative efforts, MALA and Moment will work to bring together our unique, diverse communities to foster a healthy and impactful exchange of dialogue, dispel myths, and build solidarity that transcends beyond borders and religion.
