In the Middle East and Europe, but not necessarily North America, ‘Id-al-Fitr, the end of the Ramadan fast and the first day of the lunar month of Shawwal, will be observed at sundown tonight. For most North Americans, due to differences in observing the new moon, it will begin tomorrow night. ‘Id Mubarak wa Sa‘id to Muslim readers.
In addition to the new moon bringing the month of Shawwal, it is also the first of the month of Elul in the Jewish calendar, the new year 5771, the first day of Rosh Hashonah (or Rosh Hashanah). Shona Tova to Jewish readers.
