As the genocide against Palestine continues, so does the resistance of Palestinians and those fighting for liberation. Building care, space to grieve, and time to rest into movements is paramount.

Join us for a night of cooking, discussion and recognizing the political and cultural importance of Palestinian Cuisine.

On our menu:

• Maqloubeh, a layered dish of rice, chicken and veggies.
• Kunafeh, a dessert pastry.
• Watermelon and Cheese, a light, refreshing snack.

Vegetarian accommodations are available, please share your dietary restrictions with us upon registration.
