On March 26th The Future Interfaith Encounter group of mothers and daughters had its encounter on the theme of El-Umra (visit to Mecca not during the Hajj time).
Since some of the Muslim mothers were planning to go to Saudi Arabia to fulfill the Umra – we decided to dedicate the encounter to that theme. The Muslim mothers began by explaining about this commandment while the Muslim daughters performed a play in which they presented the different stages of the Umra pilgrimage to Mecca and what is said in each stage.
The girls dressed with dresses and head coverings and prepared a model of the Kaaba. In this way the mothers together with the daughters managed to give a clear explanation of the theme. Then we had a conversation and also some questions of clarification.
Finally we divided the girls into groups who played different games together. As usual, the games included use of the two languages in order to improve communication between the girls. The encounter was accompanied by refreshments and was very interesting.
