Our Mission
JAM & ALL Interfaith connects people through conversation and education to create peace, harmony and understanding.
Our Vision
JAM & ALL Interfaith envisions a world where Earth and all its inhabitants are honored and cared for; all people are valued equally and treated equitably; differences are explored, appreciated and heartfully embraced; and all spiritual paths and faith traditions coexist harmoniously.
Our Story
JAM & ALL was founded in response to the events of 9/11 by Moshe David Kamrat, the son of Holocaust survivors. Believing it was important to get Muslims and Jews together to get to know one another and understand each other's traditions, he reached out to two local imams and, together with Maulana Shafayat Mohamed and members of these congregations and David’s synagogue, they formed a group called JAM - Jews and Muslims. The idea of a “JAM Session,” with different instruments playing in harmony, was also present. Very soon after, people of other faiths wanted to become involved, too, so the organization changed its name to JAM & ALL, and later to JAM & ALL Interfaith. Read more
