Religion Dispatches looks at two books that address interfaith, universal religion and Judaism among other things. I believe I see potential book club selections brewing!!
It's Really All About God: Reflections of a Muslim Atheist Jewish Christian
by Samir Selmanovic
Everything Is God: The Radical Path of Nondual Judaism
by Jay Michaelson
Careful, these books might make you really look at your own faith in a different way!

How Can I Help? MLK Day of Service
Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. worked tirelessly during his lifetime to strengthen communities, empower individuals and build bridges. The MLK Day of Service is an opportunities to continue his legacy. There are many ways to serve the community today and throughout the year.
The MLK Day website, sponsored by the United States government, has lots of information, including a history of Martin Luther King, Jr. and ways to serve.
Also, please visit AIF's "How Can I Serve My Community if I am Busy?" document about how to serve in person, online and with resources.
Thanks for working to help the community, to empower yourself and to build bridges!

How Can I Help? Haiti Earthquake
The American Islamic Fellowship sends thoughts and prayers to those affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
There are many, easy ways to help!
Charity Navigator has a fantastic guide called Help Survivors of the Earthquate in Haiti that details what to do to help and how. Money is the greatest need right now and giving even just $5 is a tremendous help. The website also has ratings and guides to help you confidently give to the charitable groups assisting those in need.
A few recommended by AIF:
American Red Cross - Text Haiti to 90999 to quickly donate $10 to the Haiti Relief Fund
Doctors without Borders
Islamic Relief USA
UNICEF
These are all groups AIF has actively supported in some capacity in the past.
Thank you for helping those in need!
