Nisa-Nashim hosted an intimate iftar at Al Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre during Ramadan. Guests came to enjoy the beautiful space, share an iftar meal, get to know each other better and pray for more peaceful times in an uplifting and distinctly Nisa-Nashim way.
Laura Marks, co-founder of Nisa-Nashim, was among the Jewish participants said: “It’s been a hard week for us all, but the mosque offered our Jewish women such warm hospitality, delicious food and calm that we were able to really focus on where we can make a difference – on friendships, our similarities and caring for one another. We were truly blessed to be together.”
Abdurahman Sayed, chief executive of the Al Manaar Mosque, said it was an honour to host the Nisa-Nashim Iftar, adding: “We firmly believe that in times of challenge, we must come even closer together and collaborate to foster peace and harmony within and among our diverse communities.”
