In Unexpected Twist, an Anonymous Muslim Donor Has Saved a Synagogue

Culture

Depressed by the news these days? Here's something that is sure to restore your faith in humanity. An anonymous Muslim donor in the United Kingdom has just donated a large sum of money necessary to keep the only synagogue in Bradford open. Located in the county of West Yorkshire, this small English town has been known for its impressive religious tolerance. Different religious communities have lived in close quarters for years, having the town synanogue and mosque sit only 500 meters from each other.  

When the synagogue started having financial problems due a leaky roof, the Muslim community in Bradford donated enough cash to cover the cost of the repairs. The synagogue will remain open thanks to the the generosity of Bradford Muslims.

Now that's heart-warming.
