Abstract

This paper seeks to identify and categorize a range of activities initiated to improve relations between Muslims and Jews, to illuminate specific concerns around which these initiatives were organized, and provide a broad analysis of their effectiveness. Data was collected through reviews of popular literature and the media, participant observation in a variety of contexts, and qualitative interviews. The study categorized and studied various types of initiatives and motivations for engagement in them, and developed criteria for assessing their success. Conclusions include recommendations for initiating Jewish-Muslim dialogue and for improving the efficacy of various categories of existing programs.
