This Year's Event: An Intercultural Iftar in support and celebration of Heart to Heart!
This year, Building Heart falls during a special time, during the holy month of Ramadan and just before Passover and Easter.
What is an Iftar?
Iftar is the evening meal at which Muslims break their daily fast during Ramadan. Ramadan is a month-long time during which Muslims fast from sunrise until sunset. It is a time of deeper spirituality focusing on the values of equality, compassion, humility, and generosity. The month is a time of togetherness in which families and friends often gather for Iftar and to spend time together. Ramadan is also a time of charitable giving.
Why are we celebrating Building Heart in this way?
Each year Heart to Heart alumni and their families gather for an intercultural Iftar meal. We believe that sharing and getting to know one another's cultures and identities is the necessary foundation for building solidarity across lines of difference. We just couldn't resist the auspicious timing of Ramadan, Passover, and Easter this year and are excited to bring a truly Heart to Heart experience to Building Heart for all of us to enjoy. Whether you join us in person or online, it will be an inspiring evening.
