Interfaith Study Mission to Israel

"We thought the Interfaith Study Mission would be good, we thought it would be educational, we thought it would be something that we should do for a number of reasons, and it was all those things; but it was so much more. It was a life changing experience as well as a thought-changing experience." - Locke and Lynda Clifford

Co-sponsored with the Greensboro Jewish Federation and the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, the Interfaith Study Mission builds bridges of understanding by bringing together an interfaith group of Triad residents who travel through the land where three major faith groups (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) originated. Participants return to the Triad prepared to assume larger leadership roles that transcend religious boundaries.

The Fifth Interfaith Study Mission was held this year, April 19 through May 1, 2009. Funded since its inception by the Tannenbaum-Sternberger Foundation, the fifth mission attracted additional sponsors including the Stanley and Dorothy Frank Family Foundation. The mission to Israel included 29 leaders from the Piedmont Triad Community, including, NCCJ's Executive Director.

The next Interfaith Study Mission is tentatively scheduled for 2012. For more information about the Interfaith Study Mission, please contact, Susan Feit.
