Sadly, sometimes we only get together when there is a disaster happening," said Abdallah Yousri, the imam of the mosque. It first started in 2015, and is an adaptation of United Nations' World Interfaith Harmony Week, which runs during the first week of February. Yousri said he often runs into people who tell them they visited the mosque as part of the event.
