About 250 people showed up for the 2010 Iftar in the Synagogue. The event was an opportunity for Jews and Muslims of all ages, and from many different backgrounds, to get to know each other as they celebrated Ramadan and the time preceding the Jewish High Holidays. "Know Thy Neighbor" was the theme of the event, and as these pictures show, there were more friends than strangers by the end of the night.
I am a new member at Anshe Sholom, and I was MOST impressed by this 5th year of Jews & Muslims learning to connect personally and culturally!
I look forward to seeing this program GROW thruout Chicagoland & the USA!
