Borough President Marty Markowitz marked the culmination of the holy month of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Fast-Breaking, with a number of representatives from Brooklyn’s Muslim community at Borough Hall today.

“I want to wish everyone in Brooklyn ‘Eid Mubarak’ on these very special days,” said Borough President Markowitz. “This joyous occasion is another example of the incredible diversity that makes Brooklyn the greatest place in the world. Eid al-Fitr is also a time of remembering those in need. Muslims all across our borough will be making a donations to special charities which is a message that Brooklynites of all faiths should remember during this holiday season.”
