Elijah Interfaith Institute
The Elijah Interfaith Institute (formerly the Elijah School for the Study of Wisdom in World Religions) is an organization that promotes the understanding and alliance between different cultures and religions. The Elijah Interfaith Institute was founded with the belief that every culture and religion has something to offer and that we miss out on a great deal of learning by not listening to what other faiths have to offer. The Elijah Interfaith Institute also stands by their teaching that a willingness to listen and learn does not make our commitments to our own religion any weaker, but actually allows us to strengthen our understanding of our personal religion.
Those at the Elijah Interfaith Institute have worked with everyone from seminarians to some of the world’s top religious leaders. The promotion of peace and tolerance are the main objectives of the Elijah Interfaith Institute.
The founder and director of The Elijah Interfaith Institute is Alon Goshen-Gottstein. He has published many scholarly works and is a highly respected writer, speaker and teacher. He lives his life to promote the peaceful and tolerant beliefs on which the Elijah Interfaith Institute was founded on.
One of the ways that the Elijah Interfaith Institute shares its message is by holding events where religious representatives from many different backgrounds come together for the good of humankind. It is in these meetings that religious leaders have the chance to discuss methods of bringing forth change and tolerance for all religions.
