The Rumi Forum was very busy with numerous
Ramadan Iftar Dinners during the fasting month. These dinners are organized to bring professionals, community leaders, families and individuals together in a spirit of hospitality and share in a meal in the tradition of
Abraham and reflecting the words of
Rumi - "come whoever you are.....come !".
