"The next event held was a Day of Understanding on February 10 with a panel discussion exploring the commonalities of the three Abrahamic faiths, led by a Jewish Rabbi.  From this meeting the group went on to found the Center for Jewish-Christian Muslim Understanding.  Cherie Gains, a retired lawyer who had been head of legal services at Bedrord-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, has been hired as the executive director of the center."
