In this special episode, we take a virtual journey to three
countries: Germany, Israel, and the United States. What
initiatives, organizations, and projects already exist in the field
of Muslim-Jewish relations and what can we learn from other
countries? Together with our seven extraordinary interview
partners, we give you an overview of the topics that are important
for Muslim-Jewish relations. Our interview partners are Arik
Rudnitzky (Project Manager, Konrad Adenauer Program for Jewish-Arab
Cooperation, Tel Aviv University), Avi Shilon (Professor for
Political Science, New York University / Tel Aviv University),
Mohammad Darawshe (Director, Planning, Equality & Shared
Society, Givat Haviva Center), Ari Gordon (Director, U. S.
Muslim-Jewish Relations at the American Jewish Committee), Mehnaz
Afridi (Director, Holocaust, Genocide, and Interfaith Education
Center, Manhattan College), Yasemin Soylu (Co-Organizer,
Muslim-Jewish Culture Days Heidelberg) and Ilya Sichrovsky
(Founder, Muslim-Jewish Conference). Why do Hebrew-speaking
teachers in Israel teach at Arabic-speaking schools and vice versa?
How does a conference organized by volunteers manage to bring
together hundreds of Muslims and Jews, and what impact did the US
election year have on Muslim-Jewish relations in the US?
Answers to these questions and much more can be found in episode 5,
so be sure to listen in! The research project "Mecca and Jerusalem"
(Heidelberg Center for Jewish Studies) focuses on the history,
present, and future of Muslim-Jewish relations. Through lectures
and interviews, the podcast brings together philosophical,
cultural, and political perspectives from Jewish Studies, Middle
East Studies, and Israel Studies. The podcast is funded by the
Volkswagen Foundation and is produced in cooperation with the
national broadcast service Hessischer Rundfunk, the Department of
Islamic Studies at the University of Frankfurt, and the University
of Heidelberg. The hosts are Beyza Arslan, Johannes Becke, Dana
Daymand, and Frederek Musall. This podcast episode was produced as
part of the Sylke Temple Fellowship Program of the German-Israeli
Future Forum Foundation. For more information on the Fellowship,
