It’s Inter Faith Week (8 – 15 November)!

Each year, hundreds of activities take place around the country. Look for events near you at: interfaithweek.org/events/map

The three aims of the Week are:

• Strengthening good interfaith relations at all levels
• Increasing awareness of the different and distinct faith communities in the UK, in particular, celebrating and building on the contribution which their members make to their neighbourhoods and to wider society
• Increasing understanding between people of religious and non-religious beliefs

Like every year, Woolf staff and students are involved in a range of events, one of which is open to the public.

As we mark Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day across the next two days, we pause to commemorate all those whose lives have been lost in conflict and reaffirm our commitment for peace across the world.

Remembrance Sunday is also the first day of #InterFaithWeek2026, chosen to encourage people to remember together the contributions of all faiths and beliefs.

Join us for lighting the Menorah at Chanukah, the Festival of Lights and one of the most joyous festivals in the Jewish Calendar.

This eight-day Jewish holiday commemorates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian-Greeks (who rules the Land of Israel around 2200 years ago) and the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

We will celebrate lighting the seventh candle, with doughnuts and refreshments!

💠Today marks the start of Islamophobia Awareness Month 💠

The theme for this year is Don’t Let It Slide.

Islamophobia isn’t only what happens to someone, it’s also what others allow to happen.

Don’t Let It Slide is a call to action, courage, and everyday responsibility. Acknowledging discrimination and working to challenge it, rather than allowing it to be normalised.
