Eid Mubarak! In recognition of the celebration of Eid ul-Fitr that our members and many employees are observing on today, recognizing and respecting our members' and many employees' diverse backgrounds that may be less known here in the United States. ? Eid ul-Fitr is an Arabic term which means the ‘festival of breaking (the fast).’ The festival marks the culmination of the month of Ramadan, during which muslims engage in fasting and spiritual devotion, as well as acts of kindness and compassion. While it may not be officially recognized as a holiday in the United States, it holds significant cultural importance for millions around the world, our members, and many employees. In some countries in the Middle East and Asia, the festival is observed as a public holiday and is celebrated for one to three days. The common phrase used to greet each other during this time is "Eid Mubarak," meaning blessed feast/festival. We believe it's essential to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels respected and valued, regardless of their cultural background. #GHRA #culturaldiversity #eidmubarak
