Read about Noor Tagouri's iftar, where community, connection, and consciousness were top of mind for attendees.
Believers is a series running throughout April, examining different facets of faith and religion among young people. On a quiet Thursday evening in New York’s Chelsea Market, 40 people gathered in the back room of a cozy restaurant to break their fast. Noor Tagouri, a storyteller and co-founder of the production company At Your Service, and Shadi Afshar from Ahmad Tea gathered members of their community at Eat Offbeat to partake in their fourth annual iftar.
The guests had donated 140 meals from Eat Offbeat to the Asiya Women’s Shelter and Ahmad Tea matched that donation. Dania Darwish, co-founder of the non-profit shelter that helps Muslim women and children experiencing homelessness and domestic violence, announced they will soon house a woman and her child from Gaza at the center.
