You’ll learn the rich cultural history behind these beloved recipes as you make freshly baked ka’ak al Quds(Jerusalem Sesame Bread). You’ll discover a twist on traditional favorites with falafel mahshi (falafel stuffed with caramelized onions and sumac) paired withtarator sauce; fattet hummus (seasoned chickpea stew with toasted bread and crunchy fried nuts). No Jerusalem street food experience would be complete without a side of traditional salatah Qudsiyeh, a salad of seasonal vegetables and herbs dressed in a jalapeno and tahini dressing.

Movie Screening: Battle of Algiers
2026-06-29 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-06-30 16:30 - 18:30, 2026-07-01 16:30 - 18:30, 2026-07-02 16:30 - 18:30 | The Beacon, 4405 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA, 98118, United States
No bastard ever won a revolutionary anti-colonial struggle by dying for his country, he won it by making the strong armies of colonialism die for theirs.
Pontecorvo’s revolutionary classic remains a benchmark in cinematic realism as well as a case study in representing political insurgency. A history of Algeria’s three-year fight for independence from its French colonizers, THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS chronicles the escalating violence between French military forces and the Algerian guerrilla movement. With its documentary-style immediacy and its vivid depiction of the struggle between oppression and resistance, this is one of the most influential and important of all political films.

2026-06-30 16:00 - 18:00 | Virtual
The Palestinian Feminist Collective is excited to announce our launch event for our forthcoming report with Progressive International, titled “A Predatory State: Israeli Systemic Sexualized and Gendered Violence.”
This historic, groundbreaking 200-page report exposes the relationship between Israel’s sexualized and gendered violence against Palestinians, including the systematic targeting of reproductive health and freedom, the desecration of martyred bodies, the assault on Palestinians’ homes, forced separations of Palestinian families, and the use of AI to facilitate domicide. Speakers include Hadeel Shatara, Aaron Maté, and Tara Al-Alami.
Watch our livestream on June 30, 2026, at 7 pm EST.
Where: https://bit.ly/PfcReportLivestream
When: June 30, 2026, at 7 pm EST
This report comes at a time when it is crucial that we acknowledge and act against Israel’s historical and present use of systemic sexualized and gendered violence. We must all stand up against Israel’s predatory actions against Palestinians as we fight for the total liberation of Palestine.

Wilderness Walk: Berries!
2026-07-02 18:00 - 20:00 | Register for Location
Summer berries are ripe! A wilderness walk focused on native berries, plant recognition, and indigenous food culture. Relational. Land-based. Politicized 🍒🍓🫐
As always, this is a container to honor land, connect, and expand towards justice and wellness for all.

I offer these walks in the greater context of engaging with the today’s crises: climate, ecological, and human people.
In our urban lives, hypnotized by modern culture, we are disconnected from what truly nurtures us. How can we care and prioritize something, someone from whom we are disconnected?
Wilderness is not only a place “out there, far from here”.
Wilderness is everywhere. In us, around us, and on a downtown concrete block.
When we got confused about how we are part and not apart, the destruction began.
The wilderness of our towns and cities diminished.
We have been blessed with the ability to witness this wilderness and be in choice about how to connect and nurture it.

Summer Sahras

Not every gathering is about the occasion. Sometimes it’s about the stories shared with an old friend or someone new, or the simple comfort of being surrounded by people who make a house feel like home.
.
In a heartbreaking world that moves quickly, gatherings remind us to slow down, regroup and create moments to hold on to.
.
Summer Sahras (gatherings) at Suzanne’s home on Mercer Island will be Fridays, July 10, 17 & 31, 6-9PM. Bring a plate to share, clippings from your garden for a centerpiece bouquet and/or an instrument to play. Suzanne has a piano & darbuka!
.
Ya Hala will be serving refreshing Spritzers for suggested donations. Will have cards, backgammon sets, and dominoes on hand, along with a houka or two… Goal is to pause, breathe and be together. Yalla, join us!
