                     FESTIVAL OF BREAKING THE FAST

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I am up here celebrating the end of the holy 
month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a time for Muslims around the world to 
renew our faith and reflect our shared values of unity, generosity, and 
compassion.
  As we finish this holy month of fasting, I recognize the beautiful 
Muslim community, my beautiful Muslim neighbors, and Michigan's 12th 
District Strong, and around the world as we celebrate Eid al-Fitr. Eid 
al-Fitr is known as the Festival Breaking the Fast, Mr. Speaker, and it 
marks the end, again, of the holy month.
  It is a time when Muslims, again, around the world come together to 
celebrate the end of the month-long fasting and their spiritual 
reflection.
  Mr. Speaker, from my heart to yours, I hope this Eid brings everyone 
that is celebrating joy, closer to community, and prosperity.
