Hello Peter Hobart Community,
This year is special with Ramadan, Easter and Passover all falling around the same time. Whether it's the symbolic Jewish seder done during Passover, or the the story of the Stations of the Cross as it relates to Easter, each holiday is filled with a story that embodies discipline, honor, charity and hope for all.
I'd like to wish those who celebrate, and those who do not celebrate these holidays, to enjoy the benefits of kindness and hope in your own lives.

- You can express well-wishes for Ramadan by saying “Ramadan Kareem” (“Have a generous Ramadan”)
- By the end of Ramadan, adults who have more food than they need must pay a contribution to support people in need
- Ramadan in general promotes Charity. Giving to good causes and generosity towards neighbors is encouraged.
