The NewGround Story

NewGround: A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change was founded in 2006 to create a national model for healthy relations, productive engagement and social change between American Muslims and Jews.

Today, NewGround is an independent group fiscally sponsored by Community Partners and housed at the City of Los Angeles Human Relations Commission in Los Angeles City Hall.

At NewGround, we believe that conflict is natural and inevitable. Yet it is not intractable-- no matter the history. Being stuck is a choice.

Therefore, we build relationships between Muslims and Jews so that they can transform their communities through lasting partnership.

NewGround: Transforming Communities through the Power of Relationships.

Our Plans

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
