An iftar is the meal at the end of a day of fasting during Ramadan.
For many years (except during the coronavirus pandemic) the Forum has organised an iftar to bring Muslims, Jews, and people of other faiths and none closer together. You can read about previous iftars on the "News and past events" section of our website.
This year we are organising the iftar at Salford Civic Centre in Swinton. Kosher food will be available for those who require it and request it in advance.
