Community Iftar with Nefesh and NewGround

In observance of the holy month of Ramadan and the Fast of Esther, join Nefesh and NewGround – A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change in a soulful and regenerative community breaking the fast on March 21st in Echo Park.

During this time of grief we will join at the close of a fast day for both of our communities to learn, pray, and break our fasts. We will uplift stories of Gazans and stories of Israelis, and we ask you to bring a picture of someone you are mourning, whether you know them personally, or their story has especially moved you. This is an important opportunity for our communities to connect and we are so grateful to gather together in an Interfaith Community Iftar in partnership with St. Paul’s Commons.

We hope you will join us for an evening of warmth, learning and mutual support.
