Final report of the first Hindu Jewish Leadership Summit by Mr. Rajiv Malhotra. An initiative by the World Council of Religious Leaders (WCORL) under the esteem guidance of Swami Shri Dayananda Saraswati, the Convener of The Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha and Co-Chair of the Board of WCORL.

Hindus & Jews are like two sides of same coin. We are too similar but still different. But we both mutually respect each other for it, something not found any where else. Though Jews were persecuted through out the world where ever they went but they appreciate the fact that because of Sanatan Vedic Dharm following Hindus they have lived freely with dignity and respect without any threat to life for past 2000 years ever since they first arrived in Bharat (misnomer: India). We have similar rich pasts, heritage and customs. We both have been persecuted by intolerant disrespectful religious fanatics. Just like Jews had to go through a despicable holocaust, over 5 million Hindus lost their lives in persecution by Muslim invaders because they chose not to convert. And many more similarities and differences have come out of the summit as reported below. It is a must read for devout Hindus and Jews proud of their heritage, both being the oldest Panth (religions) in the world, and talks on how these two religions can together bring peace to this world which is full of violence in the name of other religions and political cults.
