OUTREACH TO DRUZE AND ARAB COMMUNITIES |
Kehilat Hakerem is taking a leading role in outreach to Druze and Arab communities in the Galilee.
On November 9th, we initiated and hosted a well-publicized Interclergy Panel dedicated to the question: "What Is the Role of a Religious Leader?" Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Druze spiritual leaders shared their insights, experiences and visions. Many members of the audiences stated that the evening caused them to re-evaluate some of their preconceptions. We hope to offer additional Interclergy Panels in the future.
Kehilat Hakerem has a long-standing relationship with the Christian-Arab community of Kfar Yasif. The two communities have enjoyed joint activities which include an educational weekend together on the banks of the Kinneret. Since 2008, Rabbi Resnick and a number of volunteers from the congregation have been giving weekly English lessons at the local “Bishop Timothy” church school.
Rabbi Resnick has also taught in the Druze village of Sajur and works diligently to strengthen the bonds between religious leaders in the Galilee.
