Join us in conversation with SoSS President Roberta Elliott and Executive Director Tahija Vikalo and learn about the work of the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom.

In 2010, a group of 12 Jewish and Muslim women gathered around a dining room table with the hope that through learning about and with each other, they could build bridges of solidarity and understanding between their communities and together, stem the rising tides of polarization and acts of religious-based hate. Thus, the Sisterhood movement was born.

The Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom (SoSS) has been created to build trust, respect, and relationships between Muslim and Jewish women of all ages. Together they commit to standing up for one another, educating one another about our faith and cultural practices, engaging in social justice action, and working to end acts of hate for all human beings.
