“Love Thy Neighbor” is a heartfelt, serious theme in every religion. We

all are neighbors, but we don’t always take time to get to know

one another. And that’s a problem. Interfaith work is one way which

helps put those words into action for my family, friends, and myself.

Now more than ever we need to work

together to build a better Baltimore.

America’s religious diversity is a

powerful resource to draw upon

when confronting the most pressing

challenges we face today in our city

and in our country. Rather than avoid

or demonize those with whom we

differ or disagree, at the Institute for

Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies

(ICJS) we provide opportunities for

people to constructively engage

difference. We are changing the

conversation in the public square to

embrace diverse religious perspectives

and affirm America’s commitment to

religious pluralism.

We believe that relationships created

through sustained learning and

dialogue are foundational to making

Baltimore a model “Interreligious City.”

This work requires that we know our

neighbors and build relationships

across our communities. Knowing our

neighbors involves not only working

together, but also creating time and

space for talking about the things

that matter. These essential conver-

sations require time, trust, and the

capacity to listen.

This past year we strengthened our

community by bringing together clergy,

activists, teachers, and entrepreneurs

from across the Baltimore region to

explore how the rich traditions of

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam can

help us imagine a better world.

We are inspired by the amazing and

passionate people we met this year,

and we hope that you are too. Thanks

to you, we will continue the hard

work of transforming Baltimore into a

model Interreligious City, one person

and one community at a time.

imagining justice in Baltimore (IJB)

The city of Baltimore is the focal point for a national conversation around questions of justice, race, and community. At this pivotal moment in our city’s history, indeed, our nation’s history, the ICJS highlights the continued importance of bringing diverse religious perspectives to address civic and social challenges in Baltimore. The ICJS launched Imagining Justice in Baltimore (IJB) with the Community Leaders Cohort and a three-part lecture series. The series continued with the Community Conversations in fall 2016.

U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT Dr. Heather Miller Rubens was invited to join in the U.S. State Department’s ongoing series, “Religious Diversity in America,” to discuss the IJB initiative. Rubens participated on a panel, leading an interactive chat on the nexus of religious diversity and race relations. The discussion was broadcast live to viewing groups at U.S. embassies around the world.

The ICJS recruited twenty-three Community Leaders who have been involved in making Baltimore a better city through their work or volunteerism. The Community Leaders Cohort included teachers, activists, and volunteer leaders who were grounded in a variety of Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and other ethical traditions. They studied together and facilitated the IJB Community Conversations.

VOICES OF IJBThe ICJS launched a Huffington Post Blog and invited each Community Leader to contribute his or her perspective about justice and injustice in Baltimore. The blog features forty-four posts.

Blogs can be viewed online: www.huffingtonpost.com/author/icjs

500 GUESTS

The four IJB Community Conversations welcomed over 500 participants to a church, mosque, synagogue, and university for small- and large-group conversations on how Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities talk about justice.

It’s always the same question when she meets someone new, says Qimmah Najeeullah. “Where are you from?” Baltimore, she’ll say. She’s lived here since she was four years old.

But they push back, “No, where are you really from?”

It’s a name like “Qimmah” and her dark skin that gives rise to these questions. New acquaintances, often those in the Muslim or the African-American com-munity, don’t know how to categorize her or if they should claim her as their own, Najeullah said.

But Najeeullah can’t imagine untan-gling her faith, race, and American heritage. That’s not how her parents raised her.

Najeeullah’s dad immigrated from Honduras, and her mom hails from

Staten Island, New York. The couple married and converted to Islam in the 1970s.

“Was religion part of my upbringing? 100 percent. I should say 200 percent!” Najeeullah said. “We grew up learning that being spiritually and socially conscious were intertwined. I couldn’t be American without my Muslim identity, and vice versa.”

But she still faces judgment—if not because of her name, because of her opinions.

“Often your perspective may be marginalized because you don’t fit in one group’s ideal of how one of their members thinks, talks, appears, or acts,” Najeeullah said.

So when she was invited to serve as a Community Leader in the Imagining

Justice in Baltimore (IJB) series, she thought it was the perfect opportunity to share her story.

“When do you get to sit at a table that is intergenerational, intercultural, and interracial?” Najeeullah asked. “I’ve done that in other countries, but I’ve never had that experience in Baltimore. It was a chance to listen and connect with people we never would have otherwise.”

She also saw IJB as a platform to share her faith, something she hesitated to do for most of her life.

“Before 9/11, I never talked about my religion unless I was with a Muslim who I already knew,” Najeeullah said. “There is a limited range of under-standing around Islam. As a country we are even lacking a basic under-standing of the difference between ethnicity, culture, and religion. So I feel compelled to be part of these conversations now.”

If IJB was a test of her commitment to her civic and religious community in Baltimore, Najeeullah says she has passed.

“I’m prepared for the difficult work ahead.”

Often your perspective may be marginalized because you don’t fit in one group’s ideal of how one of their members thinks,

talks, appears, or acts.

confronting anti-semitism & islamophobia

The ICJS resolves to confront Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism, and all forms of religious prejudice in our city, in our state, and in our country. Addressing religious prejudice requires naming the stereotypes that foster contempt for entire groups of people. As an educational organization, the ICJS is committed to building learning communities that empower participants to stand confidently against religious intolerance and bigotry.

3 LECTURES in Baltimore City (Spring 2017)

LECTURE 1: BANNING SHARIA Argued that shariah bans are a dangerous political tool that position American Muslims as threats to democracy and American values

LECTURE 2: AMERICAN MUSLIMS UNDER SURVEILLANCE Deconstructed the U.S. government’s Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) program, which targets American Muslims and calls on community leaders to identify individuals within their communities who show signs of radicalization

LECTURE 3: COMBATTING ISLAMOPHOBIA Examined ongoing efforts to mobilize against the American Islamophobia industry, a network of well-funded groups set up to promote prejudice against or hatred of Islam and Muslims

The ICJS co-sponsors Living Questions, the monthly series of conversations around religion,

theology, and ethics hosted by Tom Hall on WYPR.

During the February 2017 broadcast, three scholars of Islam discussed their own experiences

“confronting Islamophobia.”

These broadcasts can be found online: http://wypr.org/term/living-questions

The ICJS Board of Trustees welcomed Dr. Todd Green, Franklin Fellow at the State Department and author of The

Fear of Islam: An Introduction to Islamophobia in the West, for

the extraordinary opportunity to glean expert insight into the

history of Islamophobia and the uptick of Islamophobic hate

and rhetoric today.

Today the Apelbergs are Baltimoreans. Estelle Apelberg grew up here. Although not from Baltimore, her husband, Jacob Apelberg, has degrees from both Johns Hopkins and Loyola. They live in Pikesville and attend lec-tures at local synagogues, community centers, and universities in their free time. But the story of the Apelbergs spans the globe, beginning just before the German occupation of Poland in World War II.

Jacob was born in Poland and was seven years old when German troops invaded his village northwest of Warsaw. Jacob would live under the German occupation in Poland, suffer the untimely death of both parents, live in a Russian labor camp, move to five countries, and pursue two degrees before meeting and marrying Estelle.

Despite war, poverty, and a constellation of other hardships, Jacob remained stalwartly focused on his education.

“I had such a desire to study, that even if it destroyed all of my health, it didn’t matter,” Jacob said.

He taught himself English to pass an exam section on Shakespeare and earn a high school diploma. Years later, he would operate a fledgling construction company to support himself while pur-suing a joint literature and technology college degree.

“You have to have the energy, and you have to have the inner push,” Jacob said of pursuing education. “You can have a desire, but if it’s not anchored deep into you, it will be shaky.”

Estelle attended a public school in West Baltimore with only one or two other Jewish students.

“I didn’t have a big Jewish education as a child,” Estelle said. “So now it’s my hobby to learn as much as I can because I had such a lack of background in Jewish Studies.”

In her thirties, Estelle moved to Israel and met Jacob. The young couple welcomed their first son in Israel be-fore moving to Baltimore in the 1970s.

In the mid-1980s, Jacob and Estelle met an ICJS scholar at a lecture.

“You could ask questions and say your opinion,” Jacob said, recalling his first impressions of the ICJS. “I saw this kind of openness from the ICJS that you don’t usually find when talking about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.”

Jacob and Estelle recognized the ICJS as a place to continue their lifelong pursuit of knowledge and education. They quickly became part of the ICJS community and continue to be part of the ICJS family today.

“You have an open and safe space at the ICJS,” Estelle said. “You feel at ease here with the scholars, the staff, and with all the others who come to the programs. It’s a feeling of being at home and learning really interesting, but also challenging, topics in a safe space. It just feels like home.”

I saw this kind of openness from the ICJS that you don’t

usually find when talking about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Entrepreneurs Lunchtime Series (ELS) brings Baltimore-based entrepreneurial leaders together to discuss the role that religion and ethics can play in building healthy communities.

Religion Teachers Network (RTN) connects and supports religion and cultural-studies teachers through professional-development seminars, networking, and sharing of resources and classroom experiences. RTN is an emerging network of teachers dedicated to this vision of 21st-century citizenship.

Scripture Forum brings together clergy and ICJS scholars for study of classical and contemporary texts on topics both central to our religious traditions and relevant to modern society. The ICJS contends that one rabbi, minister, priest, or imam will impact at least 1,000 individuals over the course of his or her career.

building an interreligious cityOne Learning Community at a time

The ICJS emerged out of the conviction that religious ignorance, fear, and hostility could be disarmed through sustained interreligious learning among religious leaders in our city. In addition to our continued work with local clergy and scholars, the ICJS expanded its notion of leadership to include activists, entrepreneurs, teachers, and business professionals in the pursuit of its mission and long-term vision. Learning communities are the foundation of an interreligious city.

ICJS is the catalyst for bringing together those of different

religious traditions in order to learn from one another. In so

doing, we each gain strength in our individual beliefs.

Laura Duklewski is the Environmental Portfolio Manager at Constellation, an Exelon Company. The $350-million-per-year portfolio includes renewable energy certificates and obligations from across the country as well as emissions allowances. Duklewski is also a member of the Constellation leadership team for Diversity and Inclusion. She plans events designed to tackle tough issues related to corporate diversity and how to be a more inclusive workforce.

Why did Exelon ask the ICJS to present at the Exelon Diversity and Inclusion workshops?

One of Exelon’s core values is Diversity

and Inclusion. We believe that a diverse

and inclusive workforce is a more

engaged, innovative, and profitable

workforce. When we break down the

barriers of unconscious bias or even

outright bias, we allow each employee

to bring their “whole self” to work,

this includes being able to express

their religion without fear of negative

judgement or discrimination.

How does interreligious dialogue impact the corporate workplace at Exelon? Many people are afraid to express

their religious views at work for fear

of being judged or excluded by their

co-workers. But, we have found that

when you open the door to dialogue,

many people are curious about

different religions and are actually

eager to learn. When every employee

can express themselves authentically

(including their religion), a team is

more innovative, employees are all

more engaged, and the company is

more profitable.

Why does the corporate sector have a responsibility to improve interreligious dialogue in Baltimore? The corporate sector has a responsibility

to its stakeholders to hire, develop,

and promote the most qualified

people for the job. The only way to

do this is when you employ a diverse

workforce that is able to bring their

“whole selves” to work, which includes

their religion. Interreligious dialogue

not only improves workplace pro-

ductivity, but it also translates into

employees being more inclusive and

understanding of others outside of

the workplace and improves tolerance

and understanding in the community

overall.

It’s just after 8:30 a.m. at Mercy Hospital in downtown Baltimore. The hallways are already full of nurses, doctors, patients, and visitors criss-crossing the labyrinth of hallways. Hospital Chaplain Leslie Benfield’s broad smile, coupled with her steady composure, is a welcome respite.

Benfield serves as one of the six hospital chaplains at Mercy. Although her docket changes daily, she’s responsi-ble for addressing any spiritual issues for both patients and staff, pastoral counseling, sacramental ministry, outpatient visits, responding to on-call emergencies, and providing end-of-life care.

Benfield says it’s not as stressful as you would think. She relies on prayer, wor-ship, family, and community support,

along with a healthy number of vaca-tion days, to stay calm and collected.

When she meets with patients and staff, she reminds herself of the two key principles of chaplaincy: Be open and don’t assume. That’s the attitude she brought, and then re-examined, when she served as a Community Leader in the ICJS Imagining Justice in Baltimore (IJB) series.

“You assume you’re not assuming anything until you learn to listen and make a space to be hospitable,” Benfield said. “Before IJB, I knew the Muslim community was the target of hate. I’m ashamed to admit, but I bought it hook-line-and-sinker. But then I met the Muslim IJB Community Leaders and started to get to know them. We talked about their dreams

for their kids and their families. And I found myself saying, ‘Oh, I want that, too’ and ‘Oh, we as Christians believe that, too.’ The experience freed me of the fears I had.”

After IJB, not only is Benfield more aware about checking in with the Muslim hospital staff to make sure they feel included and cared for, she also invited an imam, the father of one of the IJB Community Leaders, to meet with the Muslim patients and staff.

Letting go of deep-seated fears isn’t easy work. Benfield describes her experience as an IJB Community Leader as “drinking out of a fire hydrant.”

“It was overwhelming to examine my own faith from the perspective of other faiths for the first time,” Benfield said. “But I valued being able to share things from my perspective and hear other stories and experiences. My experience as an IJB Community Leader will continue to personally and pro-fessionally shape me for a long time.”

You assume you’re not assuming anything until you

learn to listen and make a space to be hospitable.

Emerging Religious Leaders (ERL) was created in partnership with Washington

Theological Consortium. ERL is an annual, week-long immersion program that

brings together rabbinical and Christian seminarians from across the country

for interreligious study and dialogue—an opportunity that is missing at many

seminaries. In 2017, ERL welcomed twenty-one seminarians from California,

New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

building an interreligious citywith clergy & religious leaders

When and why did you decide to be rabbi?

It was a very long process to decide

that rabbinical school was going to

be my path. I tried to run away from it

in a lot of ways. I originally wanted to

be an academic, but I was much more

interested in working with people

and bringing torah to Jews who don’t

have access to it. So often torah isn’t

readily accessible. I’m less interested in

prescribing what you need to believe,

but rather showing that the tools of our

tradition are available to all of us, not

just some of us.

Why did you decide to participate in the ICJS ERL program?

I have both Jewish and Catholic family.

Although I identify as exclusively

Jewish, I’m really interested in interre-

ligious conversation. I’m aware of the

assumptions we make about the ‘other’

and how those influence how we view

other traditions. Until we unpack the

biases that are embedded in the

religious framework we each inhabit,

it’s impossible to come together and

figure out where we want to go. ERL

was about doing that hard work. We

all came with common ground and

similarities as Jews and Christians, but

ERL challenged us to do the hard work

of embracing our differences.

Why is interreligious dialogue critical for rabbinical students?

Fundamental to any kind of cross

cultural and interreligious work is

relationship building. As a rabbinical

student, if I’m speaking to a Christian

student, I’m speaking to someone in the

dominant cultural tradition. Building a

relationship with them and dialoguing

allows for critical bridge building

across minority and majority dynamics.

How did ERL better equip you to be a future clergy member and community leader?

It gave me real insight into how

Christians approach their traditions

and scripture and how Christians

understand themselves in relationship

to scripture and tradition. The way

Christians relate to their past is very

different, and that’s important for me

to remember. I am better equipped to

be a bridge between my community

and Christian communities.

ERL participant, is a fifth-

year rabbinical student at

Tuchman is passionate about

interfaith work, especially

the Jewish-Muslim conversa-

tion. She is also interested

in the nexus of disability

rights, religious communities,

A day in my life Dr. Benjamin Sax, ICJS Jewish scholar

5:00 amUsually first up in the morning, I make a pot of coffee and take advantage of the rare silence to indulge in reading The New Yorker, Haaretz, Der Spiegel, and The Economist.

3:00 pmI meet up with my colleagues, Heather and Homayra, to work on our essay for a book on the field of interreligious studies being edited by Eboo Patel and Jenny Peace. Our essay will focus on the ICJS’ contribution to the field by working with both clergy and the public.

2:00 pmA rabbinical student I met at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College calls me about her interest in starting a social-justice- oriented congregation. We brainstorm ways to make her proposed congregation a reality in Baltimore’s political and interreligious environment.

6:15 amMy eleven-year-old daughter and eight-year-old son wake up. My wife and I make them breakfast, pack lunches, and remind them to brush their teeth. Then we rush out the door for the thirty-minute drive to their Jewish day school.

4:00 pmIn the last moments of my work-day, I make a few final edits and preparations for my talk about Franz Rosenzweig tomorrow night in Rome, Italy. My key to a successful talk is to have only three points and to refer back to them as often as possible.

1:00 pmServing on a steering committee for the American Academy of Religion, I typically spend this hour reviewing proposals and co-ordinating panels for conferences. I also serve as a peer-reviewer for several academic journals. This month, I am reviewing an article on how modern Jewish thinkers interpret revelation.

7:45 amNormally the first to arrive at ICJS, I study a page of Talmud for an hour. This practice, which I’ve observed for the past fifteen years, is called Daf Yomi. Though there are many issues that can divide the Jewish world, Daf Yomi connects Jews worldwide through shared practice and learning.

5:00 pmHopping into my car, I pick up my kids from school to take them to gymnastics and rock climbing. Afterward, we zoom home and eat dinner.

12:00 pmI tear myself away from my computer screen to go for a walk. Today I am listening to Plato’s Symposium. As a rule of thumb, when I stroll I only listen to philosophical treatises or sacred texts. When I return to ICJS I prepare my gluten-free lunch, usually soup and an apple.

9:00 amNext, I make a few edits to my essay on Holy Envy: the moment which you admire and aspire to something in a different religious tradition, but you realize that it is impossible to incorporate that something into your own faith or practice.

7:45 pmMy wife Jenny drives me to the airport to catch my flight to Rome. I’ll be there for a few days for my talk on Franz Rosenzweig. Arrivederci!

10:30 amEnjoying another cup of coffee, I turn to whichever ICJS programs need my attention today.
