the rabbis will kiss up for the imams and the imam will promise to share the donation money, enough talk let's eat kosher food that is, baaaaa no peperoni pizza will be serve there for sure.
2. All at the expense of freedom of speech?
JMK ,   NYC   (07.28.09)
What restrictions do the Rabbis have to accept to their free speech and free thought? Isn't enough to swallow their own bubbe mayse now they have to respect the myths and their accretions of all the other religions? Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Rabbis can't agree if god spoke to Moses or evenif their was a Moses, but they all agree that there was a Jesus and Mohammed and that the New Testament and Koran are from god, what gives, these Rabbis confused. It is as if 200 years of scholarship and science hasn't touched them at all.

do they think that the rabbis can accept something short of complete surrender. Well!, they will end up with the rabbis cutting short their beards and Imams growing theirs to full capacity. It's trial worthy.
4. Way to go

I applaud the twinning effort. It's easy to be critical and denounce these types of initiatives. But taking these steps now - although they might seem small or idealistic - will have some impact in the future. They could lay an important foundation for future tolerance and mutual respect. I wish those people who participate in this effort every success.
