2023 Multifaith Iftar Fundraiser: “The Light and Faith of Peace”

Celebrating Ramadan, Passover, Easter, and Zirayat al-Nabi Shuayb

Participants and leaders sit together at the 2022 Iftar in Nazareth, connecting in a way not possible in normal life where cultures and society is physically and socially separated into religious, ethnic, and sectarian strata. More photos and video from the 2022 Iftar, Click Here

Help us bring 150 Muslims, Jews, Christians, and Druze together for a celebration of Ramadan, Passover, Easter, and Zirayat al-Nabi Shuayb.

For a second year in a row, Passover and Easter fall within Ramadan.

For a second year in a row, violence and conflict threatens and simmers in the region.

The climate of distrust, fear, and trauma is palpable, and across the Holy Land, the Abrahamic Reunion is looked to to guide people into safe spaces where they can connect with the other.

Understanding, connection, and hope are needed now more than ever violence and hate in check.
