Islamic & Jewish holidays coincide

As millions of Muslims begin their month long fasting at the start of Ramadhan this year with prayers, so too do millions of Jews usher in the Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year at about the same time.

I do hope that with mutual understanding and sharing, peace can once again reign between these people who share so much in common as to their faiths. For example, when I visited the Jewish Museum in Berlin, I found out that Jewish women had a ritual bath for cleansing after menses. Similarly, the Muslim women have a similar ritual bath. The observance of kosher and halal in the Jewish and Muslim tradition is another. With such similarities and closeness in religious beliefs, there is ample opportunities for the Muslims and Jews to take advantage of these platform to further understanding and co-operation in building a lasting peace.

Ramadan Mubarak, to the Muslims reading this...May God accept our prayers, repentance, and good deeds in this blessed month. And to the Jews...May God accept your repentance on Yom Kippor.
