3 Imam Ali Jaaber Masjid Darul Islam Mosque Imam Ali Jaaber of the Masjid Darul Islam Mosque in Elizabeth was born to his calling. His father, Imam Heshaam Jaaber, was the spiritual leader of the mosque and he had Ali Jaaber assisting with his duties at age 13. Ali Jaaber followed in his father's footsteps and became Imam in Yet Ali Jaaber learned much more than religious teachings from his father while growing up in Elizabeth. Heshaam Jaaber worked closely with Malcolm X, the Muslim minister and human rights activist, and was a leader in easing the racial unrest that griped Elizabeth in Ali Jaaber learned early in life about the importance of inclusion and embracing others who are different. "I didn t grow up seeing black and white," he said. "My father taught me to judge people on their character." Building character is a primary goal at the Masjid Darul Islam Mosque. "Our main focus is the youth giving them the necessary apparatus for the 21st century and restoring family," Ali Jaaber said. Commitment to the community also serves as an underpinning of Ali Jaaber's work. He works with the Union County Prosecutor's Office as an advocate of the court and in the area of refugee assistance. Now Ali Jaaber brings this commitment to inclusion, embracement and community to the Union County Interfaith Coordinating Committee Council as its newest member. "There's something basic about the Interfaith Council," he said. "We believe in God and we preach about moral propriety." Because all religions teach about caring for others, Ali Jaaber sees an opportunity for the council to let the public know how much work the religious community does for the wider community. "In all our holy books it emphasizes the care for humanity, especially our neighbors," he said. "I'm hopeful we can come together and solve our problems, getting back to borrowing a cup of sugar. It's up to the religious community to step forth to restore some solidarity in the community." Ali Jaaber believes post-9-11 feelings and current world events threaten to create an insurmountable abyss between Muslim and non-muslim Americans an abyss that when stoked by media coverage might morph into a vigilante society. "We as clergy have to link up with other religions and find common ground," he said. "Peace has to prevail or the whole thing is going to blow up. If the religious community stays together, there's a chance. If not, I fear for the future." Together with the Union County Interfaith Coordinating Committee Council, Imam Ali Jaaber hopes to shape that future for the better.

5 Union County Day of Prayer draws hundreds to Westfield church Suburban News By Suburban News On September 21, 2014 at 11:19 AM, updated September 21, 2014 at 11:23AM It was a message of communication, inclusion and commitment to community for the good of the community of treating others with caring and holding those who do not accountable. The Union County Day of Prayer, held Thursday, Sept. 18, at the First United Methodist Church in Westfield, drew hundreds to hear those messages, as delivered by a slate of leaders from houses of worship from throughout Union County and the nonprofit community. The Day of Prayer, the first of a planned annual celebration, was an interfaith gathering of the faith-based, nonprofit and government communities to unite people from throughout the county regardless of race, religion or disability and to bring greater awareness of the support services available to them, according to Sid Blanchard, executive director of Community Access Unlimited (CAU). CAU provides support programs and services to people with disabilities and youth served under the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to enable them to live independently in the community, in areas including housing, vocational and life-skills training, education, advocacy and recreation. The event was sponsored by the Union County Interfaith Coordinating Committee Council, an organization comprising 40 interfaith congregations and community-based nonprofits, including CAU, the driving force behind creation of the council. The council was formed to promote inclusion of all people within the community, without regard to race, religion or disability, and to create a clearing house of faith-based, nonprofit and government community services available to the public, according to Blanchard. "Being part of the community is a full-time job and the steering committee and members of the Interfaith Council are bringing important services to the community," said Blanchard, who sited information about employment opportunities, the entitlements including support for seniors, children and families with members with special needs and record expungement programs. "Our mission at Community Access is for our members to live fulfilling lives within the community," he said. "But in order for there to be a community, there needs to be a cohesive and caring community of people. We hope tonight inspires others to talk to each other and put their caring into action." The theme of the evening was "The Ethics of Reciprocity Your Faith, Your Golden Rule." Attendees heard multiple readings from the Bible and Koran and a panel discussion about what the reciprocity of faith, or Golden Rule, means within different faiths. The panel discussion featured Imam Ali Jaaber of Masjid Darul Islam Mosque in Elizabeth; Sister Mary Carrington, vice president of missions and effectiveness at Trinitas Regional Medical Center and the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth; Pastor William Ingram of the Shiloh Baptist Church in Elizabeth; and Rev. L.L. DuBrevil of the Faith United Church of Christ in Union. Rev. Erica Crawford of the Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church in Rahway served as the discussion facilitator. Imam Ali Jaaber quoted from the Koran, saying, "We have made you tribes so you may know one another." Sister Carrington said the Golden Rule "allows us to accept the process of change" for the better. Rev. Ingram said, "There is more that unites us than separates us" and quoted from Martin Luther King Jr., who said, "We will either dwell together as brothers and sisters or we will perish." Rev. DuBrevil said The Golden Rule Transcends all religions and cultures and that those who obey the rule must hold those who don't accountable for the good of the community. "As people of faith, we're the ones who have to hold their feet to the fire," using education, advocacy, activism, legislation and judicial action, as said. Community Access Unlimited, celebrating its 35th anniversary, supports people with special needs in achieving real lives in the community.
