welcome to the forum saba2 with the message of peace sala'm in arabic and shollam in hebrew--a common word of peace coming from all abrahamic religions 
depends wat you mean by 'celebration' ?
just exchanging good will and prayers for eachother is rather recommended specially in a multiculture community.
however actually practicing the rituals is obviously niether expected from us by most of our good friends and relatives belonging to other faiths, nor recommended. |
