The Indianapolis JCRC, OBAT Helpers, MAI, IHC and Beth-El Zedeck want
to invite you and your congregants to break bread with them on May 25,
2019 for an interfaith Iftar. The interfaith Iftar is being held to
raise awareness and funds for Rohingya refugees who after having fled
persecution, violence and genocide in Myanmar, are now settled in the
world's largest refugee camp in Bangladesh. OBAT Helpers, an
Indianapolis based nonprofit, addressed this humanitarian crisis by
providing initial relief to the refugees through distribution of meals
and essential items of daily living, followed by continued efforts to
rebuild their lives through provision of shelters, education,
empowerment opportunities and health care.
Iftar or breaking of the Ramadan fast will take place at 9:02 pm. This
evening meal will be preceded by an hour long program in which you
will hear from representatives of the sponsoring organizations and
learn about the impact of the Rohingya crisis. We will have Rabbi
Glickman and his wife as our keynote speakers who both have been to
the camps and established a community kitchen for the Rohingya people.
Ticket sales go directly to OBAT Helpers and their programs to help
the Rohingya people. We hope that you will join us on this
inspirational evening to stand with Rohingya refugees.
