Jerusalem Post reports:

Rabbi David Rosen, who has been invited to an interfaith conference in Madrid hosted by Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah next week, said Thursday that he expects to make significant progress in Muslim-Jewish relations while there.


Rosen is the only Israeli rabbi to be invited to the conference, which will host 200 spiritual leaders from July 16-18, including representatives from Iran, Lebanon and Syria. Several American rabbis from varying streams have also been invited.
