Ramadan Iftar Dinner II

Dear Friends,

As the Holy Month of Ramadan approaches we would like to invite you to attend an Iftar (fast breaking) Dinner with local Turkish American families and friends.

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast by abstaining from consuming water or food while the sun is out. Iftar – or fast breaking – dinners take place each night once the sun sets. This is an important time not only for those who participate in Ramadan because of their faith but also an important time for us to share our tradition with our friends from different backgrounds over delicious food and through lively conversation. It is truly a special time when people of all backgrounds come together and share in the Iftar experience, learning about different cultures and faiths in the process.

Even though we are a non-religious organization, over 90% of Turks are Muslim and we thus host Iftar dinners every year for the community during the Islamic Holy Month of Ramadan. If you attended our Iftar dinners in previous years, you are more than welcome to join us once again, we are more than happy to have you.

Turkish Cultural Center CT is hosting multiple iftar dinners for our dear friends to come together and share the experience of fast-breaking while enjoying delicious cultural turkish cuisine.This event is open to everyone and free of charge. Please check the invitation for more details.

Sena Sahin
