ABRAHAMIC ALLIANCE INTERNATIONAL INC

AAi unites Jews, Christians, and Muslims in a context of compassion to serve the poor, suffering, and marginalized together. Collaborating regularly in compassion helps all AAi volunteers encounter virtuous members of other Abrahamic communities as we partner together in serving our unhoused and poor neighbors in need. In this context, bridges of understanding and respect are built organically between our communities, exposing the falsity of prejudice and stereotypes rampant in our respective communities.

AAi also offers cutting-edge education (both introductory and advanced) from world-class scholars of each community to accelerate our learning about each other in our own faith vernacular, in our own terms, effectively translating what is often misunderstood about another community into ways we can understand and respect.

Abrahamic Alliance International (AAi) has built a growing alliance of communities (synagogues, churches, mosques, and Jewish, Christian, and Muslim community centers) who inspire their members to obey divine commands to serve our neighbors in need. AAi also partners with other nonprofit organizations who share our mission to serve the poor, suffering, and marginalized but need volunteers to achieve it: Soup kitchens, shelters, food pantries, Second Harvest Food Bank, American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, LifeMoves, St. Vincent De Paul, Good Karma Bikes, Veggielution and more.

Our educational goals to build bridges of understanding and respect between Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities are achieved regularly during real-world collaboration in compassion, as well as in more formal educational seminars, taught live and hosted at member congregations, as well as online in a self-paced, video format available internationally to all who can access the internet.

Our capabilities to achieve these goals are directly related to our partnerships with dozens of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim congregations, as well as with nonprofit organizations who share our mission to serve the poor, suffering and marginalized. In 2021, for example, AAi united more than 700 volunteers at 48 different compassion events in Silicon Valley, Calif. to build bridges of understanding and respect between our communities while serving our neighbors in need. ברוך השם thanks be to God الحَمْد لله‎ , hundreds of homeless neighbors are now housed, fed, warm, clean, and even have bicycles to get around town so they can do more than just survive. All together in 2021, AAi served over 30,000 poor and low-income neighbors in need. ‎

At our initial launch in 2010, AAi was hosting compassion events quarterly. As more congregations joined our alliance, we began hosting compassion events every month. In 2021, we averaged four compassion events per month. In February 2022, we hosted six compassion events. We have effectively hit capacity in Silicon Valley, and are now looking to launch new branches of our alliance in new cities: Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
