A few weeks ago, the leaders of the Jewish community of Hebron, Israel got an invitation to an Iftar celebration — the traditional Muslim nightly feast at the end of each day of the month-long Ramadan daytime fast — in the Jabari section of Arab-run Hebron. The location was not surprising to us since we have been working for years with the host, Sheikh Ashraf Jabari, a businessman, and a local clan chieftain. Many groups that have come to see the Jewish section of Hebron have also been brought to Sheikh Jabari’s house to learn about Arab-Jewish cooperation.
However, attending the first fully catered Kosher Iftar meal honoring Jewish guests in Arab Hebron was definitely an exciting proposal.
