12th annual Borough Hall Iftar brings message on the need to show love
4 Honored for Their Community Service
Borough Hall’s 12th annual Iftar brought the songs of children, a slate of honorees and a message underscoring the need for each person to become a crystal healer.
And of course, there was the meal — starting with water, mango juice and baklava for the fast-breaking. It is traditional that the first food eaten after fasting be sweet.
Borough President Marty Markowitz established the tradition during his administration. Current Borough President Eric Adams has continued the Iftar, saying it’s one of his favorite events each year.
