A Jewish temple in Oakland is offering the East Bay's oldest Black church a safe haven and place to worship after a devastating fire.
It's the latest show of support in a long history between the two groups.
Gospel music rang from Temple Beth Abraham Thursday. It's a new sound for the synagogue, coming from a member of First AME, also known as FAME, the East Bay's oldest Black church."It lifts a burden not having to figure where we're going to be," said Jeffrey Williams, FAME's minister of music. On Sunday night, a huge fire caused extensive damage to the church and the building is now deemed unsafe.Oakland's First African Methodist Episcopal church damaged by fire
Oakland firefighters battled a huge fire at First African Methodist Episcopal Church late Sunday night. There was major damage to the building, which is the oldest Black church in the East Bay.

And they have both spoken at each other's houses of worship.
