In a meeting in the Beverly Hills mansion of Daphna Ziman, Ziman and the Rev. Eric Lee - brought together by religious leaders from New York City and Atlanta - said they will work together to try to eliminate racism and anti-Semitism in the community and beyond.
The two also said they hope to develop some cross-cultural events between African-American and Jewish youngsters. The two said they mutually agreed not to discuss the incident that had caused the rift - a dinner at which Ziman was being honored by an African-American group and was on the receiving end of remarks by Lee that she said were anti-Semitic.
