The annual Weekend of Twinning is an initiative led by the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU), in partnership with the Islamic Society of North Americ, to strengthen Muslim-Jewish relations worldwide. The Weekend of Twinning provides an opportunity for synagogues, mosques and other Muslim and Jewish groups to form partnerships and hold joint programs together with the goal of building ties of communication, reconciliation and cooperation between Muslims and Jews.
Recent Weekend of Twinning events have placed increased emphasis on Muslims and Jews working together to feed the hungry and homeless, thereby giving expression to the shared moral imperative in Islam and Judaism to help those most in need. ISNA encourages all Muslim and Jewish student groups, young leadership groups and women’s groups – as well as mosques and synagogues – to hold events during the Weekend of Twinning.
