Community iftar table set for a Ramadan dinner gathering

During the blessed month of Ramadan, the Atlantic Institute hosts and joins iftar dinners across congregations, universities, and community organizations throughout the region. Sharing the table together at sunset is one of the most powerful expressions of our mission — bringing people of different faiths and backgrounds together to break bread, reflect on shared values of generosity, gratitude, and compassion, and build friendships that last well beyond the holy month. Each Ramadan Dinner is hosted in partnership with a different community, from churches and synagogues to universities and civic organizations, reflecting the breadth of relationships we are honored to build every year.
