As a religious human rights group, Rabbis for Human Rights works to create dialogue and joint activities with Christian, Muslim, Druze, and Jewish religious leaders.

In 2003, Rabbis for Human Rights helped pen the Interfaith Declaration, which begins:

 “We, Muslim, Jewish, Christian and Druze religious leaders, cry out in the name of our One God to recognize one another, all created in God’s image. Hate is boundless not only in the Middle East but also around the globe. We must look into our religious traditions and speak out in the name of compassion and justice. Our task as religious leaders is to engage our own people in self-reflection and point the way to a better future for our children and ourselves. We, therefore, out of our respective religious traditions condemn all acts of violence and human rights violations, seeing as they contradict God’s will for humanity. The suffering of Palestinians and Israelis must stop. An attack against any human being is an attack against God…”
