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.
