Community Iftar 2020
April 30, 2020 @ 8:15PM — 9:00PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Each year, during the month of Ramadan, NewGround brings together Muslims, Jews, and allies for dinner and dialogue in a synagogue. This year, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we invite you to bring your favorite meal to the virtual table with us from the safety of your home. Join us for a virtual evening that will fill our spiritual cups and remind us of who we are as an interconnected community. We look forward to an event that is distinctive and fulfilling.
Right now, the need for connection and community is more urgent than ever. As we find ourselves Safer at Home, it is easy to feel distanced from one another.
This time of physical separation doesn’t need to be a time of social isolation, however. Please join with us as we gather Muslims, Jews and friends, as we do each Ramadan – this time, in the virtual world.
This event is free to tune into, with a suggested $40 'Beloved Friend' donation. We hope you’ll consider sponsoring this Iftar as a way of ensuring that NewGround can continue strengthening the social fabric of Los Angeles when our society needs it the most. These are tough times, and it is your support that will sustain our community-building in the months to come.
If you already have access to the tune-in information for the event, you do not need to RSVP on this page.
