A film about the life of a Hackney rabbi honoured for his work bringing Jewish and Muslim communities together will have a special screening later this month.

The film, How to Get On With Everybody, is an intimate look at the life of the north London rabbi, who has dedicated his life to building bridges between people from all backgrounds.

The film follows him in his role within Shomrim, a Jewish neighbourhood watch group, as they navigate a rise in antisemitic incidents since October 7, 2023.

It also explores his deep friendships within the local Muslim community.

Rabbi Gluck, who founded the Muslim-Jewish Forum in London 25 years ago, received an OBE in 2013 for his services to intercommunal understanding.

He also continues to mediate in conflict zones around the world, including the Middle East.

The documentary will be shown at the Rio Cinema in Dalston at 2.15pm on Sunday, November 23.

The screening will be followed by a conversation between Rabbi Gluck, Hackney Mayor Caroline Woodley, and the filmmakers.

Tickets can be purchased via the Rio Cinema website.
