Many Nisa-Nashim members, including Julie and Laura, attended the fifth annual Interfaith Iftar at the Alyth Synagogue in Golders Green. The evening started with four workshop sessions: female heroines from Jewish and Muslim teachings, historical teachings of important figures, leadership among young people, and reflections on Jewish and Muslim prayer. The event continued with some delicious food prepared by Syrian refugee and chef Ahmad Abo Aziz, who has recently launched the catering company Aleppo Supper Club. Everyone broke the fast by eating a date, as is traditional, and then went on to eat “the best falafel ever tasted,” according to Ahmad! Here are some pictures of this very special night.
