Islam and Judaism have a long shared and complex history. The Quâran and the Tanakh speak of our common patriarch, Abraham/Ibrahim, whose sons Ishmael and Isaac forged separate paths to the establishment of each faith. This neat, if simplistic, analogy of two siblings parting ways is at the heart of our collective past.
Islam and Judaism have a long shared and complex history. The Qu’ran and the Tanakh speak of our common patriarch, Abraham/Ibrahim, whose sons Ishmael and Isaac forged separate paths to the establishment of each faith. This neat, if simplistic, analogy of two siblings parting ways is at the heart of our collective past. All over the world, we have lived together for more than a thousand years. And today, we find Muslim and Jewish communities.
I was thrilled to be offered use of the space, said Mr Clark.
Previously Mr Clark made a life-size sculpture of Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa in March 2020, raising more than £9,500 for the Mind mental health charity.
The Bielsa statue, entitled
King of the North, will join the Captain Tom creation, from Saturday, June 12, as well as other famous people encapsulated in life size bronze, brass and resin, at The Springs pop-up store.
Other famous faces from the world of football will include statues of the Leeds United and Scottish legend Billy Bremner, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, and Barcelona star Lionel Messi.
MP Alex Sobel has made a plea to Government for more support for early years settings - claiming they have been ‘thrown to the wolves’ during the latest lockdown. The MP for Leeds North west, which includes Otley, Yeadon, Pool and Bramhope, spoke for more than eight minutes in Parliament after putting out a request via social media for staff and parents to share their views. Mr Sobel posted on Otley Our Town and Yeadon Our Community on Monday. Just a day later his survey had received more than 800 responses, with comments from local parents and staff as well as childcare providers from across the country.
