When it comes to peace between Israel and Palestine and to relations among Jews, Muslim, and Christians, no one is more qualified than Dr. Ron Kronish to give us direction and-most important-to give us hope. Dr. Kronish has devoted his life to the proposition that leaders of the Abrahamic traditions can strengthen each other, inspire one another, and promote the values of love, justice, and peace that are common to each of our faiths. For more than 25 years, he has done the hard work of bringing Jews, Muslims, and Christians together, and encouraging us all to proclaim that we will not permit fanaticism to grow or prejudice to harden. His message, now more than ever, must be heeded: In Israel/Palestine, he tells us, and around the world, the children of Abraham must reclaim their common heritage and find a common path. -- Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie, President Emeritus, Union for Reform Judaism, writer and speaker A seasoned dialogue-partner with Muslims and Christians, Rabbi Kronish here shares his experience building relations with Palestinian Arabs in Israel, East Jerusalem, and the Occupied Territories. This memoir of peace-building is also a program others can follow to supplement the high-profile politics of peace-making. The program centers on a four-step process of transformative dialogue, interreligious education, discussion of core issues and joint action. I know the process works, because Rabbi Kronish has been modelling it for years in my own interfaith friendship with him. This book will spread the peace further among Jews and Muslims, Arabs and Israelis, Palestinian and Jewish Israelis. -- Imam Feisal Rauf, Founder and Chairman of the Cordoba Initiative, author and interreligious activist I can't imagine a more necessary reminder coming at this moment than Rabbi Ron Kronish's new book, The Other Peace Process. When legal, diplomatic and political interventions around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are stalled, Rabbi Kronish lifts up examples where real people engage in interreligious dialogue, education and shared action to make change. From his own well-lived life, Kronish offers hope that though the work of justice and peace is a long game, it is worth it and will, in the end, succeed. -- Rev. Katharine Henderson, PhD, President, Auburn Seminary
