The concurrent Jewish and Muslim holy days of Sukkot and Ramadan are sacred
times of family, community and spiritual reflection. This is the third and
final year when these two holidays will overlap for many years to come. AAIM
invites you to observe the Ramadan fast from sunrise to sunset when we will
share a festive meal under the Sukkah, a temporary shelter signifying life's
fragility. All are welcome.

The INTERFAITH PASSPORT offers you the opportunity to learn first hand about
the rich tapestry of faith in the Austin area. Each month, a different place
of worship opens its doors, giving you a chance to attend a worship service
and interact with members of the host community.
