Hundreds gather in Montville to celebrate Eid al-Fitr as NJ Muslims mark end of Ramadan

MONTVILLE — As the sun set Thursday evening, Muslims here and around the world celebrated the end of the holy month of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid al-Fitr, the feast ...

MONTVILLE — As the sun set Thursday evening, Muslims here and around the world celebrated the end of the holy month of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid al-Fitr, the feast that marks the end of the holiday

In Montville, the Muslim community for the first time gathered at the township's outdoor amphitheater for a public celebration they hope will become an annual event.

More than 200 people attended, including many children who took to running and playing around the park-like setting while the adults spoke.

"I greet you with the Muslim greeting of peace, which is 'as-salamu alaykum,'" said resident Lara Suwan, who led a group of volunteers who staged the inaugural event.

Story continues after gallery

Suwan got the effort going with a post in the Montville Moms group on Facebook that caught the eye of Mayor Matthew Kayne.

"I have always attended other Ramadan Eid celebrations across towns in New Jersey," Luwan said. "As a Muslim and a Montville resident, knowing that our town has always been dedicated to respecting diversity, I thought this would be a wonderful event to have in our hometown."

Kayne quickly agreed to endorse and fast-track the event. As word spread of the celebration, it was moved from Town Hall to the amphitheater off Horseneck Road in anticipation of a large crowd.

"As I look out, I see so many friends and so many great members of our community here in town," said Kayne, who wished his audience "Eid Mubarak" ("blessed feast" in Arabic.)

Imam Youssef Almati of the Jame-e-Masjid Islamic Center in neighboring Boonton offered the Quran Recitation with a translation from Ahmad Kandil. Almati and the Boonton mosque hosted its annual interfaith Iftar dinner the previous weekend

Other speakers on Thursday included several Morris County elected officials, including Commissioner Tayfun Selen, a Muslim who grew up in Turkey.

"It is a particular honor for me to be here today standing before you as the only elected official in Morris County as a Muslim-American," Selen said.

Fifteen-year Montville resident Zahra Alemi spoke of her personal pride to witness the gathering in her hometown.

"I was raised here," she said. "In 2012, I graduated high school on these grounds. Now, I get to celebrate my beautiful holiday on these same grounds. Thank you to the mayor and all the coordinators for bringing back this piece of land that is so sentimental and so special to me, back in full circle. Thank you for making my home more than just a ZIP code."

The celebration concluded with the lighting of an "Eid Mubarak" sign that will be displayed at Montville Town Hall through the end of the month.

Halal at IHOP?:Yes, it's happening at this North Jersey location

For subscribers:A new housing boom is taking over North Jersey. Is it time to hit the pause button?

"I think it's great," said Adam Kandil, a Jame-e-Masjid member and candidate to become the first Muslim council member in neighboring Parsippany. "We had it for the first time in Parsippany and now having it in Montville, you're seeing all people of different nationality and races coming together to celebrate Eid."

Next year, New Jersey will recognize its growing Muslim population with the state Legislature's passage of a bill to designate January as Muslim Heritage Month. State Senator and Montville resident Joseph Pennacchio sponsored the bill in the legislature's upper house. It awaits the signature of Gov. Phil Murphy after unanimous votes last month in the Senate and Assembly.

"We put it on the fast track and it's done," Pennacchio said Thursday while at the Montville event.

There are nearly 300,000 Muslim Americans in New Jersey, representing one of the largest Muslim-American populations of any state in the United States, according to Pennacchio's legislation. "New Jersey recognizes the positive impact Muslims have made, and continue to make, to the advancement of this state and the nation," it adds.

Pennacchio added that Murphy's is expected to sign the bill next week during an Eid celebration at Drumthwacket, the state governor's mansion.

MONTVILLE, NJ – Dignitaries, friends, Scouts and parents attended the Court of Honor held for Eagle Scout Joseph Gausditis, Jr. on April 30 at the Montville Senior Center.

According to Scouting records, only four percent of Scouts become Eagle Scouts. Twenty-one specific badges must be achieved as well as a project that must be spearheaded in order to achieve the ranking. Gausditis achieved 39 badges.

Gausditis’ Eagle Scout project was at Woodmont Elementary School in June of 2022.

“My project was to build seven wooden benches and install them between the parking lot and basketball blacktop to create a new outdoor classroom where students can go to learn outside and play around during recess,” Gausditis told TAPinto Montville. “I also had that entire area mulched. The other aspect of the project was cleaning up the slightly overgrown basketball court, repainting the backboards and rims, adding new nets to the hoops, and adding pole mats to protect children from injury by running into them. I ran a birdhouse sale fundraiser to account for some of the project's backing but also had major donations from the Woodmont PTA, Friendly Tree, Dan Como & Sons, and Seven Scoops & Sips.”

“Your Eagle project immediately had an impact on our school community,” Woodmont Principal Dominic Esposito said at the Court of Honor. “The minute it was done, I wish you could have been there to see the reaction of 300 of your fellow wildcats [students] when they came out of school at recess time and saw what you had created. They just flocked to it. You’ve changed their world. And that’s what Scouting is about. It’s about making a difference.”

Esposito called Gausditis’ achievement an “amazing accomplishment.”

Assistant Scoutmaster Steven Benno said that Gausditis was senior patrol leader during the pandemic and that he did a good job of holding remote meetings and keeping the scouts engaged. Former Scoutmaster Pat Phalen agreed, and he fondly remembered Gausditis’ cooking of corned beef during the New Scout Trip held one St. Patrick’s Day years ago. He said he thought Gausditis’ project was going to be too much but the teen wanted to do all of it.

“He planned it, he fundraised it, he presented it before the PTA – everything he wanted to do, he thinks, he plans, he knows what he wants to do and he knows how to do it,” Phalen said. “And that’s why it’s no surprise that he made Eagle Scout and I have no doubt he’s going to be successful the rest of his life.”

Assemblyman Brian Bergen said the Eagle Scout has instant credibility that must be re-earned day by day; state Senator Joseph Pennacchio said he feels good about the leadership skills of Gausditis and those like him, and the world is in good hands. Morris County Commissioner Tom Mastrangelo said to accomplish what he has, Gausditis has to have a lot of tenacity, focus, drive, determination, things which make good leaders now and in the future – qualities needed in this country.

Mayor Matt Kayne said Eagles personify a steadfast and persistent work ethic and commitment.

“The youth of our town are so important and I’d like to thank you for being an example to others,” Kayne said. “I’m grateful to the Eagle Scout program for contributing so much to our community, and for being so generous with their time and talent.”

“For all the scouts that are working on Eagle, I encourage you to keep on pushing and get it because it’s a life-changing experience and you’ll appreciate it so much when it’s done,” Gausditis told the assembly. “I couldn’t have done this without all the leaders here.”

MONTVILLE, NJ – Twenty-five Woodmont Elementary fifth graders became entrepreneurs at the school’s Trep$ marketplace held April 28. The long-standing entrepreneurial after-school program teaches the students how to create and market a product or service at the flea market-style craft fair. Mayor Matt Kayne attended and cut the opening ribbon, along with Woodmont Principal Dominic Esposito.

Snithik Selvakumar’s booth was called “Bluebird Bird Feeders,” and he was selling three different kinds: feeders made from ice cream cones, made from pretzel rods, and feeders made out of tea cups and saucers. He said he got his idea for his booth from a craft that he made years ago. They were made from peanut butter mixed with wild bird seed mix.

Brady Greeley had “Brady’s Boards” – high-end chess boards made from two kinds of wood. He said he got his idea from a festival he attended. His dad helped him with the cutting of the wood, he said.

Vivaan Sharma had a booth called “Magnetic Marvels,” many different kinds of magnets.

“I have about 1,000 magnets on my fridge, so that’s where I got the idea for my store from,” he said. “I started on Monday and now I have this, so it took me about a week to make them all.”

Emily Bosch named her booth “Bosch’s Bracelets,” and she had many different styles to choose from. Her love of jewelry was the springboard for her booth, she said.

Anna Casian had a booth called “Sugarly,” which featured sugar scrubs.

“I wanted to do sugar scrubs before Treps even started, and I thought there would be a lot of people interested,” she said.

She’s going to save up her profits for the future, she said.

Clare Glodde had many different kinds of slimes at her booth “Clare Bear Slimes.” They came in different sizes, colors, mix-ins and scents.

“From childhood, I’ve always loved making and playing with slime,” she said. “I’ve loved doing Treps. I interacted with my friends and I could do what I liked doing.”

MONTVILLE, NJ – The Montville Township Committee met on April 11, where Township Administrator June Hercek announced the results of the budget discussions.

There will be a 2.3157% rise in taxes, she said, an average increase of $49.84 per average assessed home ($533,571).

Affecting this year’s budget, Hercek said, were the rise in the costs of health insurance and solid waste collection and disposal.

Health insurance increased by 16.13%, she said, due to large rate increases for the State Health Benefits Plan.

The township’s bid for solid waste collection and disposal was an increase by $839,506, which would have resulted in an increase of almost $99 for the average home just for that collection alone, so the township rejected the bid.

“After doing some research, administration has decided to take on the responsibility of ‘marketing’ the recyclables, which includes determining the most competitive pricing for our recycling and vegetative waste, and directing the hauler to the particular facility, as well as paying the facility directly for the cost of the disposal of materials,” Hercek said. “While the results aren’t in, we projected an estimated savings based on the research we’ve done, and the savings have been incorporated in the budget tonight.”

With the projected savings incorporated into the budget, the increase for solid waste is $714,506, so administration cut the budget in other areas, Hercek said.

Volunteer Spotlight

The Township Committee honored volunteer Ron Luna for his efforts with the Open Space Committee. Luna has lived in the township for 20 years and has donated thousands of hours to enhancing the beauty of the township through its many nature trails, according to Mayor Matt Kayne. Besides reblazing and maintaining trails, Luna has also acquired proficiency with designing new trails. He is able to advise the Open Space Committee on properties, which is valuable in a member, Kayne said. Luna is available to assist Eagle Scouts with their projects; you can find him working at Pyramid Mountain working with the Morris County Parks Department or at Montville Day sharing his vast knowledge of the township trails and properties with anyone who stops by the Open Space table, Kayne said.

“Ron is an invaluable volunteer, and we thank him for his service to the community,” Kayne concluded.

“I’ve been doing this a long time and I’m grateful to do it,” Luna told the assembly. “I enjoy what I do and I hope I can continue doing it.”

Other News

The township is going out to bid on a project to improve drainage on Barney Lane, an area that has been bothering residents with flooding.
