Register Today while seats are still available! Several hundred women will gather at Drew University on December 4 for the 2016 Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom Leadership Conference! Conference is sold out
“I attended the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom Muslim Jewish Women’s Leadership Conference together with my 16-year-old daughter. I knew it would be a transformative experience for her, but I didn’t realize how much it would affect me as well. I feel hopeful that I can make a difference because I can build upon the real relationships that I made at the conference. As a mother, I am proud to raise my daughters to know and love their neighbors.”

I just saw in the paper that it is sold out. I had heard about it from a friend and was trying to find out more. I want to get very much involved. I have just moved after 54 years to an apartment and have been a recluse for the past year packing and now unpacking. This is what I would like to be really involved in. I am on the board of my Temple. Temple Beth El , in Hillsborough NJ so if you get any cancellations I could be there in Hour and a half. I would like to be involved in a local chapter.
Hi Shuey. I am sorry that we are sold out. I will add you to the waiting list. We will be in touch in mid to late December! Best, Sheryl
I am interested in encouraging dialogue and understanding for Muslims and Jews. I am a Christian who lived and worked in the Middle East for six years. We need to build awareness of shared humanity and the value of human life no matter a person’s religion or ethnicity.
