This document discusses Iftar dinners held by various Muslim community centers and mosques in Minnesota during Ramadan. It provides details about the opportunities for interfaith and community connections at these events, including breaking the fast together, observing evening prayers, sharing a meal, asking questions, and meeting new friends from different backgrounds. The events allow non-Muslim guests to learn about Islam from the community's perspective and experience aspects of their daily Ramadan observances in a welcoming environment. In 2014, over 18 centers across Minnesota hosted these Iftar dinners and saw more than 590 guests in attendance.
