The Muslim Leadership Initiative (MLI) was launched in summer 2013 to build relationships of understanding, respect, and trust between North American Muslim and Jewish communities.  Through a rigorous academic curriculum and exposure to diverse narratives, MLI seeks to expand participants’ critical understanding of the complex religious, political, and socioeconomic issues facing people in Israel and Palestine. The program invites North American Muslims to explore how Jews understand Judaism, Israel, and Jewish peoplehood.
