In any other time, Oregon's Muslims would be breaking their daily fast throughout Ramadan with their community during a meal known as an iftar. But during the coronavirus pandemic, such gatherings aren't possible.

Instead, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community will host an interfaith virtual iftar over Zoom at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Guest speakers will include U.S. Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, Portland Police Chief Jami Resch and faith leaders from local Jewish and Christian churches. Attendees of all faiths are welcome.
