NewGround is a joint project of PJA and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) that engages diverse groups of Muslim and Jewish Angelenos in an innovative community-building process of intra- and inter-faith education and reflection, leadership training, and civic engagement.  The program utilizes a creative and dynamic new approach to Muslim-Jewish community-building, and is the result of extensive research of previous Muslim-Jewish dialogue efforts conducted in Los Angeles and throughout the country.  Our first cohort of NewGround participants began in late February, and is comprised of Muslim and Jewish Young Professionals in their 20s and 30s.  Check out NewGround's website at www.newgroundproject.org for more detailed information.
