What, if anything, are you doing to prepare for Ramadan? I’d love to hear from you all…whether you’re freezing fruit for suhoor smoothies, running out to buy dried dates, setting up an interfaith Zoom iftar or coordinating your Quran completion schedule.
“Before Sanders, the best that Muslims could expect from candidates was to be tokenized or overlooked. Now that Sanders’ inclusive campaign has raised our standards, it will be tough for us to go back to politics as usual.”
My org Vigilant Love is going to be hosting an interfaith, inter-spiritual Zoom Iftar! http://bit.ly/VL2020Iftar We are so excited to use this as an opportunity to avoid isolation and continue to use Ramadan to renew our faith and commitment to justice <3
That's awesome! I know Ramadan ends up being a month of increased interfaith engagement, with mosques hosting open houses and public iftars, so I've been curious about how folks are keeping that tradition going.
Ramadan is always a lonely time for me, and I fear this year will make it doubly so. I’m not sure how to prepare for it, to be honest. But maybe it’s arriving for us at the exact right time. I hope so.
I hope so, too. One thing I've been hearing over and over again from people is that this year the communal aspects of Ramadan will be more accessible than ever – because now people who live far from mosques and people with non-Muslim families, etc will now sit in on lectures and iftars over Zoom alongside everyone else.

But it's not the same, of course.
