Check out the Newton TAB’s coverage of the Eid Rosh Hashanah festivities at Workmen’s Circle in Brookline that Moishe/Kavod hosted jointly with WC and the Muslim American Society of Boston.

With the end of Ramadan coinciding with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, several Kavod members joined with other Jewish and Muslim young adults to organize a celebration of our joint faiths and cultures, with the aim of building relationships into the future.

The event was a great success, with nearly 100 people in attendance, a variety of tasty foods from different cultures and plans to continuing building bridges in the future. Human bingo and small discussions helped break the ice and foster conversations about the meaning of the holidays to individuals and communities.

Thanks to Sara Rosenblum, Michelle Sternthal and everyone else who was involved with organizing the event. Stay tuned for more from Kavod’s Jewish-Muslim working group.

Update: The Brookline TAB has picked up the same article. In addition, there is an article (#2 spot on the website) in the 9/24 Jewish Advocate about the event, which will be posted shortly.
