Mr Williams said: “It’s all about giving a 7,000-strong Jewish community access to products.”
The pop-up shop, due to open on Sunday, will have approximately 250 Pesach products.
Aware of a high percentage of people in the community unable to travel to Manchester, Mr Frieze added: “They want to buy from a local Jewish business and that is what we are trying to achieve: a solution for people who aren’t mobile.”
Mr Frieze added: “We have done all we can. We now need action and people to come through the door and support us.”
Mr Williams said: “This is a strong example of what is not just good and great about Leeds, but it’s about what is good and great about people.”
The community has a kosher butcher shop.
