It was an absolute pleasure to join @LSEFaithCentre, @LSEChaplain alongside Sikh and Buddhist panellists last night. Really thought provoking questions from the students and wonderful to learn from Kiran and Karuna. #InterFaithWeek
Kicking off #InterFaithWeek with a Beecken Faith & Leadership Session exploring 'What is the Good Life'

Incredibly powerful to @walkwithamal #LittleAmal today and to join @OpenIftar. Thousands present and proud to #WelcomeRefugees & declaring Camden a borough of sanctuary. A special day to mark #Passover #PalmSunday2023 and #Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak, Pesach Sameach and Happy Easter
I’ve had a truly wonderful day and evening with @CCJUK Belfast branch! The warmest of welcomes and a fabulous AGM, dinner and company. Photos to come!
It's truly a tragedy that this war is still ongoing. We pray for a swift resolution and are ever in awe of the resilience of the Ukrainian people and those supporting them.
To mark one year since the invasion of #Ukraine, we are sharing reflections from CCJ Presidents @chiefrabbi, @CardinalNichols, @JustinWelby & @RabbiWittenberg on the role of #faith in supporting reconciliation & peace (featured in our magazine, 6 min read) mcusercontent.com/8c43c54dd4…

Lovely to join you and LSE students, as always, this time to talk about Justice from a Jewish perspective and inspiring to hear @JustKirat share her story- I’m now binge listening to the Sweet Bobby podcast!

Leonie was a giant in our community and beyond, a truly inspiring leader and champion of so many causes including interfaith and volunteering. Her passing is a deep loss to all who knew her and benefited from her warmth and support. May her memory be a blessing.
Early this morning, our dear friend, Leonie Lewis passed away.
Leonie was an inspiration figure who’s presence will be missed. She touched the lives of so many.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones.
Here is a message from our Director, @mustafafield
Couldn’t be happier to join the @NazLegacy #InterfaithIftar once again. Wonderful to join with old friends and new from all faiths and to share rituals, values and ways to make our world better.
Congratulations to @NazLegacy for hosting a great interfaith event before Iftar meal this evening. London back and stronger together! @bishopSarahM @Lustherev @MayorofLondon @dioceseoflondon
Mitzvah Day never asks for money, instead we collect donated items. Usually. Read this blog and thread to understand why in times of Humanitarian Crisis things are different and we have to respond differently.
Incredibly moving @HMD_UK ceremony. Goosebumps hearing the rendition by the Freedom Choir and the powerful testimony shared by survivors of genocide in Bosnia, Cambodia, Darfur, Rwanda and the Holocaust. #HolocaustMemorialDay #LightTheDarkness
