More reflections on interfaith engagement from the Iran delegation






FOR Iran Program Director Leila Zand (left) is interviewed by an Iranian journalist at Yousef-Abad Synagogue in Tehran.More reports have come in today from the Fellowship of Reconciliation's 8th peace delegation to Iran. Jacob R., a young Jewish activist from the U.S. Pacific Northwest, has posted three reflections on a blog he is maintaining. Before traveling to Iran, Jacob had expressed his commitment to building ties across political and religious lines, noting that he has traveld three times to Palestine and Israel to help connect Israeli Jews with Palestinians living in the West Bank. This formed a foundation for his interest in visiting Iran, and learning about the historic relationships between Muslim and Jewish communities in that land.
