The NY Post reports:

Middle East peace has broken out � in The Bronx.

Jews and Muslims are bosom buddies inside the Islamic Cultural Center of North America � home to both the Al-Iman Mosque and Beis Menachem of Parkchester, an ultra-Orthodox synagogue.

�Right now we are a family. The rabbis are our brothers,� said Sheik Moussa Drammeh, 50, who opened to them the doors of his 25,000-square-foot, two-story center on Westchester Avenue.

Rabbi Meir Kabakow, 26, said: �Even though they are Muslims and we are Jews, there is no hate between the two. That�s the way God made things happen � he sent us a place in a mosque.�

The unique arrangement began around 2009, when the synagogue�s organizers couldn�t pay $2,000 a month rent for their White Plains Road storefront and found themselves on the street.

The wandering congregation petitioned community leaders and officials for help, and found it � when a Catholic stepped in.
�Everyone has a right to worship somewhere,� said community activist Patricia Tomasulo, who helped broker the deal between the center and the synagogue. �If they have this big building, I figured, �Why can�t we share?� �

But not everyone thought the arrangement, under which the temple stays rent-free, was kosher.

The Islamic center�s school lost about 20 percent of its students, and dozens of mosque worshippers fled � cutting down the flock by a whopping 90 percent.

Some of the Jews left as well, although the rabbi said Jewish law permits the unusual partnership. �They believe in one God, and we believe in one God,� he said.
