Good Deeds of Muslims
Re: Good Deeds of Muslims
For Rabbi Rachel Greengrass of Temple Beth Am, it was a moment last month during the evening prayers at the Islamic Center of Greater Miami, a Sunni mosque in Miami Gardens. The mosque invited members of different faiths to break the fast with them.
She was standing in the back of the mosque, watching a group of men pray as young children played hide-and-seek around them.
“You could see these 4- and 5-year-olds popping out of nowhere, and to me it was so endearing,” Greengrass said.
Word of Greengrass’ visit to the mosque spread and soon she was getting messages from her congregants.
“People asked me what it was like, and how I got invited,” said Greengrass, who plans on bringing people from her temple to the dinner next year. “It’s a unique opportunity. In Judaism, we call Islam a cousin faith. There are so many similarities that it’s nice to highlight those.”
Norman Hemming, special counsel to the U. S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, attended a few dinners during the month. One of those was at the Islamic Jaffaria Association, a Shia mosque in Hialeah Gardens
