MJLC Ambassadors - London Team This project focused on a joint dinner between 15 members of Jewish and Muslim communities in London to celebrate Eil Al Adha. The event was held in a mosque in West London where Kosher and Halal-compliant food was served to all attendees.
The dinner began with short speeches from Shayk Faid Muhammad Said, Imam of London Central Mosque and Rabbi Alexander Goldberg, Dean of Religious Life and Belief at the University of Surrey, in their capacity as mentors to the MJLC Ambassadors. The dinner which was planned to last for two hours instead lasted four hours to allow the participants to continue engaging in dialogue. Surveys filled out by participants after the event indicated an overwhelmingly positive response with a strong desire shown to participate in similar events in the future. A Seder dinner is set to occur in April as a follow up event.
