The Abrahamic Movement

Miriam Jaskierowicz Arman has been officially appointed Special Envoy for Arts and Culture Events by The Abrahamic Movement, (www.abrahamic.org) an international grassroots initiative dedicated to strengthening dialogue, cooperation and human connection across the Abrahamic world.

The Movement brings together people and communities across religious, cultural and national boundaries, with a particular emphasis on building trust, mutual understanding and practical cooperation. Its work includes initiatives in culture, education, media, public diplomacy and interfaith dialogue, with the broader goal of transforming shared heritage into a foundation for peace and partnership.

A Role Centered on Culture and Human Connection

In her new role, Miriam will contribute to the development of artistic and cultural initiatives that create opportunities for people from different backgrounds to meet, communicate and collaborate.

The planned activities include poetry competitions, art exhibitions, musical programs and cultural events, together with initiatives designed to encourage participation from Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Noahide and other communities connected to the Movement.

Her responsibilities will also include helping to develop events, encourage participation, connect artists and cultural figures, and support the creation of meaningful encounters between people who might otherwise remain separated by geography, religion or political circumstances.

Art as a Bridge

The appointment reflects a theme that has been central to Miriam’s work for decades: the belief that art, voice, poetry, education and culture can reach places that formal dialogue often cannot.

As an artist, vocal pedagogue, author and lecturer, Miriam has worked across different countries and disciplines, consistently connecting artistic expression with questions of identity, memory, spirituality and human communication.

For her, culture is not simply a form of presentation. It can also become a space where people listen to one another, recognize shared experiences and discover new possibilities for understanding.

That approach aligns closely with The Abrahamic Movement’s vision of building human connections across faiths, borders and cultures and using shared Abrahamic heritage as a basis for cooperation rather than division.

The Leadership Behind the Movement

The appointment was announced by Tom Wegner, Co-Founder and CEO of The Abrahamic Movement. Wegner is a veteran media strategist and author who has advised Israeli leaders and international organizations, including the United Nations, European Union and World Bank. He previously served as spokesperson for the Peres Center for Peace and has developed an extensive network of journalists, policymakers and dialogue partners across the Muslim world.

Wegner is also the author of The Abrahamic Revolution, one of the publications featured by the Movement as part of its broader effort to develop new frameworks for dialogue and cooperation across the region.

The organization’s official team also includes Rabbi Yoel Oz, identified as Co-Founder and President of the Israeli Abrahamic Movement. A former Orthodox rabbi in the Washington, D.C. area, he is the author of Abrahamic Federation: A Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

A Shared Heritage, A New Future

The Abrahamic Movement describes itself as a global grassroots initiative inspired by the spirit of the Abraham Accords and by the shared heritage of the Abrahamic faiths.

Its work extends beyond formal diplomacy and focuses on relationships among individuals, communities, religious leaders, civil society figures and cultural networks. The Movement has developed dialogue initiatives, international partnerships and community-based programs designed to strengthen coexistence and long-term cooperation. Miriam’s appointment adds an artistic and cultural dimension to that wider mission.

Looking Ahead

For Miriam, the new role is a continuation of a lifelong commitment to Torah, voice, peace, culture, art, poetry and dialogue.

At a time when division and mistrust remain deeply present in public life, she sees cultural exchange as one way of opening doors that political language alone cannot always open.

Her work with The Abrahamic Movement will focus on creating spaces where artistic expression can contribute to dialogue, mutual respect and stronger human relationships.

As the Movement expresses its vision:

“A Shared Heritage. A New Future.”

And for Miriam, that future begins with the willingness to listen, create, communicate and build bridges.
