Rabbi Herschel Gluck, alongside Ismail Amman, is chairman and co-founder of the Muslim-Jewish Forum. Established in 2000, the Forum was the first of its type in the world. It deals at the grassroots level with a broad range of issues which are of concern to both communities and also serves a role in preventing and defusing tensions.

Rabbi Gluck’s role as a mediator is not confined to the domestic arena. He has also been heavily involved for some time with the Next Century Foundation, through which he has played a significant role as a mediator in conflicts as diverse as the Sudan and Former Yugoslavia.
