The Alyth Reform community Golders Green hosted its annual Iftar meal for the local Muslim community at which stories and traditions were shared.

Part of Faiths Forum for London’s Big Iftar, discussions centred on heroic figures from both religions from Biblical times to the modern era.

On display at the venue was a Yad Vashem exhibition highlighting the efforts of Albanianian Muslims who risked their lives to save Jewish neighbours during the Holocaust.

Both the Jewish and Muslim evening prayers, Maariv and Maghrib, were recited.

Mustafa Field, co-founder of the Big Iftar and director of Faiths Forum for London, said: “With growing concern over antisemitism and Islamophobia, it is important to remember that our communities historically have always supported each other and will continue to do so.

“Ramadan is one of the holiest times of the year for Muslims. Not only is it spiritually important. It is also an opportunity to fortify relationships with neighbours, so a perfect time to bring communities together.”
