JEWISH AND MUSLIM WOMEN WILL COME TOGETHER IN LONDON TO DISCUSS REBUILDING FAITH RELATIONS IN UK AFTER END OF WAR IN ISRAEL/PALESTINE
More than 40 Jewish and Muslim women will gather in London this Sunday (19 October) for the Nisa-Nashim Mini Conference. This coming together will discuss how to rebuild fractured faith relationships in the UK, after the peace deal between Israel and Palestine. It will also see Jews and Muslims show solidarity to each other after the recent terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester and arson attack on a mosque in Peacehaven.
A highlight of the morning will be a joint memorial session to remember all the lives lost and lives ruined in the war. There will also be a seminar on how Jews and Muslims can, despite the divisions, speak to each other about the conflict, acknowledging the deep pain and mourning on both sides while allowing conversation and friendship to continue. Another important moment will see the women join hands and physically come together as one community, in the face of rising and violent antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred.
