Shoulder to Shoulder - Standing With American Muslims; Upholding American Values

NewGround: A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change

NewGround began in 2006 as a response to the climate of tension and mistrust between Jews and Muslims in Los Angeles. But more importantly, NewGround was founded to create a national model for healthy relations, productive engagement and social change between American Muslims and Jews.

NewGround equips Muslims and Jews in America with the skills, resources, and relationships needed to improve Muslim-Jewish relations and cooperation on issues of shared concern. Through a young professionals fellowship, public programming and consulting, NewGround impacts a wide range of Muslims and Jews - from organizational leaders to the unaffiliated and from liberals to conservatives
