IJCU BOARD
The Institute for Jewish-Christian Understanding is governed by a Board of local civic, religious and academic leaders. Hosted and endorsed by Muhlenberg College, the IJCU seeks to facilitate dialogue and interaction between Jews and Christians with innovative programs that draw especially on the academic and community resources of the Lehigh Valley and the Mid-Atlantic region. The IJCU benefits from the advice and support of its National Advisory Council, which consists of leading figures in the Christian and Jewish communities across the country.
