Bridges to Faith & Friendship

Making connections with people of other beliefs and backgrounds is a critical part of building peace and understanding in the world. This is particularly true in a time in which division, fear, and antisemitism are on the rise in the US and around the globe. Bridges to Faith and Friendship is building on existing relationships and creating new ones. We need your creativity, enthusiasm, and participation as we focus on the commonalities that unite us all. Contact co-chairs Eric and Trudy to explore how you might become involved.
