This morning I read an article titled Muslims and Jews celebrate Jewish holiday together at Muslim Center in Bettendorf.
In the video embedded in the article, the journalist begin reporting by stating, "Jews and Muslima are coming together in Bettendorf to celebrate the Jewish holiday, Passover, together at the Quad Cities Muslim Center. KWQC's Sarah Jones met with the women who were gathering together to break bread."

To break bread is to affirm trust, confidence, and comfort with an individual or group of people. Breaking bread has a notation of friendliness and informality, derived from the original meaning regarding sharing the loaf.

Couldn't the reporter have used a different term than "break bread" to describe a Passover event?
Incidentally, firther in the video, the cantor emeritus of Temple Emanuel in Davenport, remarks, "we are both able to use halal meat and kosher meat with each other."
