The Meaning of Ramadan — Amy Daraiseh — Best of Nerd Farmer

February 19, 2026

Ramadan began this week. Somewhere around 2 billion Muslims around the world will be engaging in a day time fast for the next month. Living in the Gulf, Ramadan contorts my life in so many ways. Our work day is shortened, life slows way down, and there’s time with friends and chosen family. Ramadan has become my favorite religious holiday, even though I’m not a Muslim.

This Best Of episode is a conversation from 2022 with my colleague, Amy Daraiseh. Amy is a  special education teacher from Chicago and all around great human being.
