| The ICJS is a non-profit organization which concentrates its educational expertise on the dual tasks of disarming religious hatred and establishing models of interfaith understanding. Founded in 1987 by an interfaith coalition of laity and clergy, the ICJS offers a variety of educational programs which highlight the distinctiveness of the Jewish and Christian traditions and confront the dangerous misunderstandings that have evolved in our two communities. | |||||||||||||||||
