Jewish and Muslim women in St Albans have set up a forum to promote dialogue between the communities.
Inspired by a group in America, Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom St Albans wants to host monthly meetings at the homes of supporters where refreshments will be vegetarian and alcohol-free.
The launch event was hosted by co-founder Ruth Cohen-Rose, who encouraged guests to dress warmly so they could eat fruit in the succah.
A spokeswoman for the group said politics would not be a part of its activities.
