Memupuk Toleransi dan Kerukunan di Rukun Tetanggan (RT) melalui Tradisi Yasinan

Abstract

The Yasinan tradition is a deeply rooted religious practice in Indonesian society, particularly at the neighborhood level (RT). Besides serving as a form of worship, this activity also serves as a social space that fosters values ​​of togetherness, harmony, and tolerance among residents. This community service was carried out with the aim of strengthening social harmony amidst a pluralistic society through the revitalization of the Yasinan tradition. The methods used included a participatory approach, interviews, observations, and group discussions with residents. The results of the activity indicate that the Yasinan tradition contributes significantly to reducing minor conflicts between residents, strengthening social relations, and serving as a means of education for tolerance across differences. This study aims to foster tolerance and harmony among residents in the Neighborhood Association (RT) through the Yasinan tradition. The method used is a participatory approach by organizing and facilitating Yasinan activities involving all residents of the RT. This activity is carried out in the form of regular meetings held every week, involving religious leaders and the local community. The results of the community service show an increased sense of togetherness, mutual respect, and strengthening social relations among residents. Furthermore, the Yasinan tradition serves as a forum for discussion and problem-solving, fostering a harmonious and tolerant atmosphere. The conclusion of this activity is that the Yasinan tradition can be an effective means of strengthening social ties and increasing tolerance among residents at the neighborhood level. Therefore, similar activities can be implemented in other communities to foster greater social harmony
