Thank you to everyone who attended the New Jersey Muslim Lawyers Association's annual Iftar dinner last week. Special thanks to Attorney General Platkin for attending and breaking fast with us. It was an honor to gather our legal community, which included law students, attorneys, judges, and other dignitaries, to share in the spirit of Ramadan. Your support and presence made the evening truly meaningful, and we look forward to continuing this tradition for years to come. #ramadanmubarak #iftar #njmla
