Feasibility advice

Results of an early interview with someone connected both politically and Jewishly:

• There would be a market for it, in terms of interested participants
• Hackney is the number one borough to avoid; moving in there and not working directly with the Haredi community would be politically complicated and confusing. Even working with the Haredi community would confuse things, given the Jewish social problems in the borough.
• Similarly basing the project in a borough with a particularly high Muslim population could complicate community relations.
• Brent would seem a more obvious choice: not without social problems, connected to Jewish centres of life, an area with a Jewish history (albeit a faded one) and greater potential to connect with the Moishe House.
• We'd be advised to speak to councillors in whichever boroughs we are thinking of at this stage.
