On Monday, March 21, the leadership group of Abrahamic Reunion — which has its United States office in Sarasota on the West Coast of Florida — came to Boynton Beach to hold its initial meeting in Southeast Florida.

The meeting took place at Congregation L’Dor Va-Dor in Boynton Beach, as hosted by Rabbi Barry Silver.

Abrahamic Reunion has a mission to promote love, peace, communication, cooperation and dialogue among all people of Israel — including men, women, Jews, Muslims, Christians and Druze — as well as any other spiritual traditions.

The group was founded in 2004.

The evening was very successful, drawing almost 75 people — leading to plans to have a second follow-up meeting on a day and time to be announced toward the end of the month in April.

David Less, one of the co-founders of Abrahamic Reunion, commented. “The event was very successful. We thought we might only have 15 people, but it was a great turnout in Boynton Beach with many people in that area interested in getting involved with our organization.”

Added Anna Less, David’s wife (who also is a co-founder of Abrahamic Reunion): “One very good thing was there were not only Jewish people present, but members of other faiths who wanted to be part of this unifying group.”

Abrahamic Reunion, according to its website, is a team of religious and spiritual leaders — men, women, Jewish, Muslim, Christian and Druze — dedicated to uplifting human consciousness and building peace in the Holy Land (Israel) by opening hearts to the love and wisdom of all spiritual traditions.

Founded in 2004, Abrahamic Reunion has been to two Parliaments of the Worlds’ Religions as featured presenters — and has convened inter-religious peacemaking dinners every year since 2004.

During the 50-Day Gaza War of 2014, Abrahamic Reunion leaders decided to begin organizing one event every month to bring more people together to fuel the causes of tolerance, amity, understanding and harmonious coexistence.

Abrahamic Reunion, according to its website, seeks to be a living example of its values and beliefs; to find and support other spiritual peacemakers and organizations; to provide training for those interested in spiritual peacemaking; and to create and implement interfaith programs, celebrations, youth activities and other educational initiatives.

The founding principles of Abrahamic Reunion are as follows:

•To share the belief in one God by understanding each other’s religious customs, spiritual practices, prayers and values.

•To turn all religions into a force for peace.

•To infuse our efforts with prayer, meditation and spiritual practice.

•To relate to all as though they are our own family.

•To respond to the needs in the Holy Land by establishing ongoing projects that embody our ideals.

•To promote love, peace, communication, cooperation and dialogue among the people of the Holy Land — including men, women, Muslims, Jews, Christians and Druze, as well as other spiritual traditions.

•To develop a worldwide membership and support system.

•To convey our message to world leaders.

According to Chris Milller, U.S. coordinator of Abrahamic Reunion, right now the work of Abrahamic Reunion — a registered nonprofit organization — is solely funded by individual donors.

Miller said: “As such, we are seeking both people to get involved with our activities and people to donate to our cause. Both are important.”
