Interfaith Bridge Building
The Unity Movement brings together Jewish, Muslim, Black, Christian, and other communities for shared meals, deep dialogue, and collective action—rebuilding trust across lines of faith, race, and identity.
In the wake of rising antisemitism, polarization, and societal division—especially after Hamas’ terrorist attack on Oct 7th and its aftermath—Leap Forward launched the Unity Supper Movement with a simple but powerful vision:
A society where people of all backgrounds stand together in care, cooperation, and trust.

Baltimore Intercultural Youth Unity Summit 2025 (BIYUS)
Young People Leading the Way Toward a Shared Society
In October 2025, more than 100 teens, parents, educators, and community leaders from Baltimore and Israel’s Galilee region came together for the inaugural Unity Summit: A landmark gathering of hope and cooperation.
The Summit united the Galilee Dreamers—Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Druze, and Arab teens with Black and Jewish Baltimore youth leaders, all living with everyday realities of conflict yet choosing cooperation. Together, the group shared meals, created art, and built friendships across race, religion, and culture.
Features: Unity meal, cross-cultural workshops, youth-led performances
Vision: BIYUS serves as a living city model of interconnectedness, where diversity is celebrated and human connection triumphs over division.
