Niagara Foundation cordially invites you to our 2019 Interfaith Iftar gathering.
The Islamic holy month of Ramadan represents a time of fasting, charity, prayer, and unity for the Muslim community. In an effort to share this tradition with Muslim and non-Muslim friends, Niagara's annual dialogue iftar dinners bring individuals from different religious and cultural communities together to break fast and engage in friendly dialogue as a way to stimulate mutual understanding and respect for others and their respective religious traditions.
Theme:
Ramadan: Service to the Community, Importance of Unity

Scott Alexander, Director of the Catholic-Muslim Studies Program at CTU
Azam Nizamuddin, Adjunct Professor, Attorney, and Activist
