The Abrahamic Family House’s design, by architect Sir David Adjaye, captures the values shared between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, through three main buildings, including a mosque, a church, and a synagogue in one place. As such, the complex innovatively recounts the history and builds bridges between human civilizations and heavenly messages.
The names of three iconic houses of worship are officially unveiled as “Imam Al-Tayeb Mosque,” “St. Francis Church,” and “Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue”.
In the vicinity of the site, there will be a cultural center that aims to encourage people to exemplify human fraternity and solidarity within a community that cherishes the values of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence, while the unique character of each faith is preserved.
Finally, the first purpose-built synagogue in the Arab world in nearly a century was officially inaugurated this Thursday, in a ceremony attended by the UK’s Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis.
This inauguration is of historical dimension and gives reasonable hope, that peace between Israel and the Arab world may come true. A long way and if succeed, history will tell: A dream raised in Abu Dhabi and enlightened the world,…
ON the 1st of March the synagogue will open for the pubic.
