Ramadan

Ramadan is a sacred month of fasting, reflection, and spiritual renewal observed by Muslims around the world. My neighborhood of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, is a diverse cultural community that includes many Muslim families who celebrate. Those who own or work in local stores often seem surprised that I know so much about the holiday having experienced Ramadan in Egypt years ago. We exchange stories - and I offer my good wishes - small gestures of connection and understanding in these divisive times.

This year, Mardi Gras and Ramadan arrive on the same date - a rare convergence of two traditions that, while different in purpose, both emphasize community and faith through meaningful rituals ... that just happen to fall on my birthday in 2026.

Today's Events, Birthdays and Quotes


US Presidents' Day

The year 2026 is widely recognized as the Semiquincentennial - the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States - often referred to as "America 250" - marking 250 years since the country declared independence and began the American Experiment. What a journey this has been - from George Washington to Donald Trump - a path that, to many, feels as though it is coming full circle in the ongoing evolution of democratic governance.

Within our deeply bipolar, bipartisan system - destined to clash amid the complexities of human emotions - the future is being challenged and questioned on a daily basis. It's largely science and technology that have propelled the nation forward, shaping our future even when political consensus proves elusive.

February 17 is my 83rd birthday - in 2026 a day that marks the convergence of these cultural, spiritual, and celestial celebrations ... the Chinese New Year (Year of the Fire Horse), Mardi Gras, the first day of Ramadan, and a New Moon 28° Aquarius Solar Eclipse.
