Frank Schroth in a Milton on-line blog “My Town Matters,”  highlights the work of our JALSA Board member, Jeff Stone, facilitating dialogue between the Muslim American Civic and Cultural Association in Malden  and Temple Hillel B’nai Torah in West Roxbury.  Schroth noted the recent report on WBUR about this interfaith workshop working to promote understanding and knowledge through honest, open dialogue.

The WBUR report by Martha Berbinger, an NPR correspondent, indicated that the groups have begun a series of conversations about politics, stereotypes and the conflicts that have divided Muslims and Jews for centuries, working to reduce conflict during a period marked by tension from terrorist activities.
