Brazilian Jews, Christians and Muslims marked their peaceful coexistence last Wednesday with a friendly hummus competition in Sao Paolo

Taking place on the United Nations’ International Day of Peace, around 150 people attended the inaugural Abrahamic Hummus Championship, organised by the Hebraica Jewish club in the Brazilian city.

Ariel Krok, an inter-religious activist and member of the JDCorps delegation, the diplomatic arm of the World Jewish Congress, compared the competition to a “friendly soccer match”.

Krok, who helped organise the event, said: “It is an incredible chance to exchange ideas, experiences, and contacts. Together, making hummus, making peace, making a better future,”
