The Al Khoei Islamic Centre hosted the Brondesbury Park Synagogue’s Succah on Sunday 8th October. Organised by Faiths Forum for London, this was the second year that the Jewish and Muslim communities have come together to celebrate the festival of Succot. The communities shared a Kosher Succot brunch in order to further strengthen the bonds between two religious and local communities. This unprecedented partnership between a British mosque and synagogue was initially inspired by the terrorist attack on a Jewish Kosher Supermarket in Paris 2015.
