African and Middle Eastern food store Al Basha grocery in Tucson, Arizona is now proud to provide an “opportunity for people to see each other as real people, and have a normal interaction with people who ordinarily might not interact in their day-to-day lives,” according to regular shopper Jesse Davis, who was intrigued to come to a store which offered kosher products in a halal environment. The store endeavors to create dialogue and relationships between Muslim and Jewish communities.
