Ramadan Kareem Everyone!

Sweden will start fasting today but I hear that Pakistan and India are starting on the 14th according to fellow bloggers Destitute Rebel who is in Pakistan as we speak and Abrahim who will post from India.

We wish everyone a blessed Ramadan and hope that we can all find blessings and warmth on this forum or, as I like to call it, online Iftaar! May God accept our fasts and efforts in this Holy Month, Amen.

To our Jewish brothers and sisters (including fellow blogger Lirun who is touring the world surfing) who are celebrating their Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashana), we wish you all peace.

Online Iftaar! What a great idea! Too bad you don't have an online chat room linked to the blog.. that would be awesome!

I was in Egypt last year for Ramadan.. such wonderful memories!

Ramadan Kareem :)

We had to pass on our first iftar invite this evening due to unexpected work commitments. But we'll be running around the Emirates from tomorrow evening. That'll be fun :)

Yosra welcome!

Mia glad to have you with us :) Well I wish I was more tech savvy and could arrange such a chat-room, but usually the comment section has been an OK alternative so bear with us :) Egypt in Ramadan must have been amazing!

Thank you CK :) Ahh I miss the UAE. Would love to spend Ramadan there. Do send us your photos!

Amnon Thank you and shana tova! :)

Hiya Lirun! Amen to that!

That must have been amazing! My moroccan friend has told me all about the moroccan jews he grew up with and the synagogues. I would love to see it myself one day. Meanwhile we are longing for your posts and pictures. Safe travels home inshallah!
