SUMMARY:Interfaith Iftar Dinner & Maktoub/Katuv: An Exploration of Arabic and Hebrew Calligraphy
DESCRIPTION:Join AC and our Muslim partners from Peace Islands Institute for an Interfaith Iftar Dinner (Ramadan break fast)\, as well as an exploration into the rich visual worlds of Arabic and Hebrew calligraphy\, discovering the parallels between both languages.

Participants will then have the opportunity to engage with these two languages through a hands-on calligraphy workshop.
