KEDEM is a systematic and substantive effort to bring religious leaders of Israel's Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities together to get to know one another and to learn to work together. Influential religious leaders search together for new and innovative ways of bringing about interreligious and intercommunal reconciliation. The participants have begun to engage their home communities in activities promoting reconciliation, including joint projects involving different religious communities.

• Ongoing monthly encounters bring religious leaders together from communities within Israel to meet one another, build mutual understanding and trust, and plan action projects which catalyze Jews and Arabs to work together to constructively address  societal issues of mutual concern. Each dialogue session includes both study of each other's sacred texts on themes of common interest, as well as discussions of core issues in the conflict of mutual concern to all participants.
• Historical Narrative Curriculum - In 2006, the KEDEM group published a booklet for the classroom entitled: I'm from...Stories from Biram Village and Kfar Etzion from 1948, which is based on two incidents from Israeli/Palestinian history: the uprooting of Palestinian Christians from Biram in the northern Galilee and the massacre of Jews at Kfar Etzion.  In addition to preparing additional classroom aids, ICCI plans to recruit teachers and offer training workshops
• Educating about the Other in Israeli High Schools - These religious leaders will be asked to give lectures in a high school in the community of one of his colleagues of another religion.  The lectures will be on subjects such as "Relating to the Other," "Basic Concepts in Judaism, or Christianity or Islam," "Common Values - Different Sources." 
• Summer Seminar - Each summer, KEDEM participants spend six days in a Summer Seminar Abroad, in which they learn about how other countries deal with their intergroup conflicts.  In addition, they continue their learning, coalesce more tightly as a group and plan their joint action projects.
