(Times of Israel) Ron Kronish - This week during the Muslim holiday of Id al-Adha, I visited two malls in Jerusalem where I saw hundreds of Muslim families out shopping for the holiday. No one harassed them, no one even noticed. Israeli Muslims easily enter Jewish malls without fear and travel to vacation spots all over Israel without trepidation. They are Israeli citizens and feel comfortable here. They share the workplace with Jews and are part and parcel of the landscape and of civil society. Rabbi Dr. Ron Kronish is the founding director of the Interreligious Coordinating Council in Israel (ICCI).
