Religious Leadership in Haifa

In a time marked by profound sorrow, mingled with anger, concern, and distress, the HLRS recently convened an emergency summit that brought together over 60 religious leaders and educators.

This diverse assembly encompassed orthodox and reform Jews, Muslims, Ahmadis, Christians from various denominations, Druze, and Bahá’ís, illuminating a collective vision for the intertwined existence of Jews and Arabs in this region.

The summit centered on preserving the intricate tapestry of our shared society in Israel, delving into tangible strategies for its sustenance. Amidst the poignant harmonies and gestures of solidarity that resonated through the auditorium, the dialogue sparked an array of invigorating initiatives.

As the evening drew to a quiet close, each leader’s discourse left us brimming with possibilities, prompting introspection as we returned to our respective communities.
