The Muslim Jewish Forum of Greater Manchester
Established to develop the cultural and social ties between the Muslim and Jewish communities of Greater Manchester
19 January 2014
On the evening of Sunday 19 January, we organised our annual kosher meal out at JS Restaurant in Prestwich. Over twenty people attended and the group included not only Jews and Muslims but also Humanists and Christians.
The special guest was the Lord Mayor of Manchester Cllr Naeem Ul Hassan JP, who is a regular attendee of the Forum's events. The former Lord Mayor of Manchester and co-founder of the Forum, Cllr Afzal Khan CBE also attended.
Lord Mayor Cllr Ul Hassan stated "I was delighted to attend tonight. It was just like a family meal and it was great to see Muslim and Jewish people eating together and meeting new friends and expanding their family"
Forum member Sarah Kemp stated "Everyone in this part of the city tonight was united by a love of food!”
