Ikhari, 10, and Thomas, 6, try to stay out of the rain during the Children of Abraham Peace walk in Brooklyn on June 11, 2009. The goal of the walk is to show the togetherness of Jews, Muslims, Christians and other religions as well as learn about each others traditions and houses of worship.

Part of the Children of Abraham Peace walk involved stopping at each religion’s house of worship. Here, at a Christian Church, participants sang songs.
