There are a lot of pressing questions on our minds these days about the state of our society and our ability to interact with one another. This Sunday, tune in to watch our 2020 trailblazers tackle a few of these questions. #constructivediscomfort BIT.LY/TRAILBLAZER2020

T-minus half an hour until our first ever VIRTUAL Trailblazer Talks. Tune in below to celebrate our Change-makers, including Ezra Klein & Hasan Minaj, and to engage the question: "What does our society require from us right now?" #pluralism facebook.com/mjnewground/po…

“If you go into a [difficult conversation] ready for war, then you have already shut the door on your own growth.” Wise words from Ezra Klein at the NewGround: A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change Trailblazers event tonight.

Our MAJICians this year demonstrated the importance of allyship in the face of anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim bias. Some days, our work feels harder than ever. Now is the time to lean in and listen. #LearnToListen #ListenToLearn #MAJIC #NewGround youtube.com/watch?v=1JUZu5…

Eid al-Adha Mubarak to everyone celebrating! As the last month of the Islamic calendar comes to a close soon, the stories and rituals of this holy time help us practice submission, and participation in something greater than ourselves, opening our hearts to one other and to hope.

From October to June, NewGround's Professional Change-Maker Program will provide 10 Muslim and 10 Jewish Angelinos with the opportunity to build their communication skills and relationships, which they will bring back to their schools, institutions, and communities. Apply now!

The MAJIC Cohort of 2022-2023 has begun! MAJICians went on a retreat led by NewGround Facilitators, Shachar Cohen-Hodos and Sara Deen, where they shared their personal stories and began the journey of active listening and understanding.

We wish our Jewish friends G'mar Chatimah Tovah: May you be sealed for goodness in the Book of Life and may we all take the time to reflect during this Yom Kippur.

Sukkot, known as “the time of Happiness”, is upon us. To all of our friends who are coming out of Yom Kippur and stepping into Sukkot, we wish you abundant joy and wellbeing.

We're thinking of all of our community members and friends in the Pico Robertson area today. We are relieved that a suspect has been arrested, and we know that the shock and fear people are feeling will remain for some time. forward.com/news/536382/je…
