My great rule in life, to go along with people who have a sense of humour rather than those who burn books, confirmed.

This year’s #InterfaithWeek has given us an opportunity to reflect on the excellent partnerships the #Charedi community has made with people from other communities and backgrounds. There is so much we can share and learn from one another. (Photo credit Max Colson.)
