Suhoors and and Campus Iftaar Options
| 
| 
We hope that all of you have returned safely to Cornell and are now excited for classes to begin this Wednesday.
Starting tomorrow, Carl Becker House on West Campus will be providing free suhoors (early morning meals) everyday in the dining hall area. We are grateful to Becker house dean Cindy Hazan, head chef Chef Eileen and the entire Becker staff for making this arrangement possible. The suhoors will take place from 4 AM until the break of dawn (approximately 5 AM these days) and will be followed by Fajr prayers. We hope that you all will join us, especially the new undergraduate freshman and transfer students, for MECA's traditional "suhoor pancakes"!
As the semester starts, things will get busy and hectic. If you can't make it to MECA's iftaars at Anabel Taylor Hall, there are other dining options available on campus. Robert Purcell Marketplace Eatery is open until 8:30pm every day, and Cook House Dining Room is open until 8:30pm as well Monday through Thursday. In addition, 104West has been kind enough to extend it's dining hours from 8:00pm to 9:30pm until September 10th to celebrate the month of Ramadan with us. If you get the opportunity, please attend one of their Ramadan dinners and show them our appreciation.
Potluck Iftaars | |
We hope everyone's Ramadan is going well! For those who missed the
announcement, every Saturday during Ramadan, MECA will be
hosting a potluck event for iftaar. We are inviting everyone to bring in a dish
to share with others. The potluck will still be held in the One World Room in
Anabel Taylor Hall. Insh'Allah this will be a way to get a taste of home cooked
food (finally!). |
Pakistan Flood Relief | |
In the past two weeks 1500 Pakistanis have lost their lives in a terrible flood.
As the world comes together to help the unfortunate people, MECA is asking the
Muslim community of Ithaca to extend a helping hand towards the 15 million now
affected by this flood. Donation boxes are placed every Friday during
prayers in the One World Room in Anabel Taylor Hall. The money collected from
the Ithaca community will be sent to ISCNY (Islamic Society of Central New
York). Even the smallest contribution could help save lives. |
