"Today is proof that when you do the right thing everyone wins. Today we rejected divisiveness, hate, overheated rhetoric and any attempt to define who we are and what we believe in."
"It's a very important holiday. Everybody was happy. It was a very good thing for us."
"They had to find a space to put a tent. People came together and prayed as a congregation."
"We are glad to lend a helping hand to our Muslim friends who are observing the holy day of Eid. There is too much divisiveness, anger and hate nowadays."
Construction of a major Harlem project was paused to set up a temporary mosque for a Muslim congregation celebrating Eid al-Fitr after their mosque was damaged by fire. Hundreds gathered in a tent on March 20 to mark the end of Ramadan. Developer Bruce Teitelbaum, an Orthodox Jew, and his partners facilitated this after the Timbuktu Islamic Center was rendered unusable. The tent provided a crucial space for worship, and community members expressed gratitude for the support during this important holiday.
