Dear Friends,
This is the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding's first Muslim-Jewish Newsletter. The purpose of this newsletter is to keep you informed of the major developments and highlights in Muslim-Jewish relations throughout the world. The FFEU, under the leadership of Rabbi Marc Schneier and Russell Simmons, has become the international address for Muslim-Jewish relations. This newsletter has been created to be a resource and conversation starter in this field.
We welcome any suggestions, submissions, or comments which can be directed via email to ffeu@ffeu.org
-Will Eastman
