Progressive Judaism Co-Leads Rabbi Josh Levy and Rabbi Charley Baginsky were among the 12 senior Muslim and Jewish denominational leaders who have signed a landmark agreement, The Drumlanrig Accord, marking a defining moment in interfaith relations in the UK. Rooted in virtue and ethical principles, the Accord establishes a structured framework for sustained Muslim-Jewish collaboration, fostering deeper understanding and shared responsibility. The faith leaders presented a copy of the Accord to His Majesty King Charles III, at Buckingham Palace, underscoring its profound national and societal significance.
