MJLC Ambassadors - Frankfurt Team This project was designed to bring young women from Frankfurt’s Jewish and Muslim communities together to learn about each other’s religions and cultures jointly over the course of four activities that highlight aspects of the history and cultures of Muslims and Jews.
The first event was a joint dinner to celebrate Eid al Adha and Pesach during which participants shared the significance of the holidays and how they are celebrated. The second event was a guided visit to the Jewish Museum of Frankfurt in order to provide participants more information about Judaism and Jewish history, this was followed by a picnic allowing participants to discuss what they learned. The third event was a visit to a mosque during which participants were shown the daily routine of a mosque allowing Jewish participants to experience Islamic practices in order to learn more about Islam, followed by a workshop to jointly design t-shirts with Jewish and Muslim symbols. The fourth event was a music session during which participants jointly created music and engaged with each other to form lasting bonds. The project culminated in a joint trip to Berlin in order to visit a synagogue, an Islamic academy, and an interreligious event on the wonders of nature.
