Synagogues agree to twin with mosques

by Habeeb Alli

For the third year, this exercise of interfaith exchange has progressed in good faith. Synagogues agree to twin with nearby mosques, with congregants visiting each other during Jewish Sabbath and Muslim Friday prayer services and, in some cases, inviting guest speakers or jointly carrying out community events like Hanukkah and Eid parties, or talks by individuals such as the Palestinian author of I Shall Not Hate, Izzeldin Abuelaish.
