محمد ملص 97 د.
تسافر غالية، المسكونة بروح زينة، وهي فتاة قضت غرقًا يوم ولادتها، إلى دمشق لدراسة التّمثيل. تلتقي هناك بفؤاد، وهو صانع أفلام طموح فُتن بحالتها هذه، فضمّها تحت جناحيه وساعدها في العثور على مسكن. يكبر حبّ فؤاد لغالية وزينة معًا، بينما تبدأ الاضطرابات في سوريا وتمتدّ إلى الشوارع المحيطة بهم لتعكّر عليهم، شيئاً فشيئاً، عزلتهم

Ladder to Damascus

Mohammad Malas 97 mins.

Ghalia is possessed by Zeina’s spirit. Haunted by the life of a girl, who drowned the day she was born, Ghalia travels to Damascus, where she studies acting. There, she meets Fouad, an aspiring filmmaker fascinated by Ghalia’s duality. He takes her under his wing and helps her find a place to live. Fouad’s love for Ghalia and Zeina blossoms while the tumultuous events in Syria start unfolding in the streets around them and gradually encroach on their idyllic isolation.

Flavors of Somalia: Cooking Class
2024-03-10 10:00 - 13:00 | the Pantry, 1417 NW 70th Street, Seattle, WA, 98117
Located in the horn with the longest coastline in mainland Africa, Somalia was a powerhouse in the spice trade for centuries and a common stopping point for sailing vessels from all over the world. This allowed indigenous Somali cuisine to expand and incorporate the influence of Indian, East African, Italian, and Middle Eastern flavors, leading to a delicious and unique culinary tradition. Join local chef Ifrah Ahmed in class, where she will teach you about the cuisine of Somalia and how to make some of her favorite classic dishes. On the menu: suqaar digaag (spiced chicken and pepper saute); bariis (Somali rice); sambuus (fried triangular dumplings filled with beef and vegetables); and basbaas (Somali-style hot sauce).
Please note: some classes can be adjusted for students with dietary restrictions, but many cannot. If you’re vegetarian, pescatarian, or gluten-free, you can use the drop-down menu on our events page to view the best classes to fit your needs.

Makrouta – Swirled Date Cookies
Besbousa – Sweet Soaked Semolina Cake
Halawa Truffles – Chocolate Dipped Tahini Truffles

DESCRIPTION
Celebrate the culture of the Middle East during this festive time of year learning to make Middle Eastern desserts. Bake buttery, date cookies and learn how to swirl dough and make the filling. Make simple syrup and discover the role it plays in Besbousa – a sweet-soaked semolina cake. And Chef Hend will demonstrate how to craft tahini into halva, a staple confection, that we’ll transform into a truffle dipped in chocolate.
Vegetarian; contains dairy and nuts,
About the instructor: After cooking in Michelin Star restaurants and high volume catering events, I made a “temporary” switch to teaching cooking classes. However, the satisfaction and unique experience I received from teaching convinced me that this was my new culinary path. I am a graduate of the Le Cordon Bleu, where I mainly focused on French and Western technique, but I have deep roots in Middle-Eastern cuisine and an enthusiastic, developed passion for Japanese cuisine. In my travels I seek out to learn something new, and for me, the more specific and obscure, the better. My interests and abilities continue to range out further, as long as I can do it, I will teach it.

Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage - Seattle
2024-03-09 06:00 - 16:00 | Heritage Park – Kirkland, 111 Waverly Way, Kirkland, WA
Join us as we walk the entire length of Gaza (25 miles, 41k) through Seattle as a pilgrimage and a communal act of solidarity with the people of Gaza.
We will be joining over 109 cities around the world led by Palestinian Christians during the season of Lent. In Seattle, our pilgrimage is designed to be inclusive, welcoming anyone interested in joining, regardless of religious affiliation.
We will meet in Heritage Park (Corner of Market St. and Waverly Way) in Kirkland at 6:00am (free parking at 123 5th Ave), and journey together, rain or shine, around the north side of Lake Washington departing at 6:15am. Through this journey, we aim to map the geography of Gaza onto Seattle, making the distant reality of those living in Gaza more tangible and immediate to our local community.
As a spiritual journey and an act of protest, participants are encouraged to reflect on the significance in their own way. There will be no collective religious exercises. We will be united by our journey and common desire for peace, rather than specific religious practices. Together, let’s take steps towards a future where peace and justice prevail for all.
FULL DISCLOSURE: We have no resources to provide support for anyone who chooses to join us. We will simply provide our itinerary with an open invitation to anyone who wants to join for all or part of the walk. You are responsible for yourself and your needs.
Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage Objectives:
1. Enduring and Sustained Ceasefire.
2. Immediate flow of life saving food, water, aid, fuel and humanitarian assistance.
3. Release of all held prisoner or hostage.
4. End of occupation so a just-peace can begin.
Route:
The route will be a loop starting in Kirkland, circling around Lake Washington, crossing the 520 bridge, and ending back where we started in Kirkland. Exact route will be shared closer to the event. It will likely take between 10-12 hours depending on your walking speed and how many breaks you take. There will be no support vehicles. Each person should have their own plan in case they need to stop early.
Do I have to walk the full distance?
No, you are welcome to walk with us for as long or short as you’d like.
What to bring for the day?
-Water (we will map out locations to refill bottles)
-Good shoes
-Appropriate clothes for the weather
-Food/Snacks (we will map out locations for purchasing food or restaurant options)
-Phone (we will have a group communication thread)
-Anything else you will need for an all day walk
Can I bring signs and flags?
Yes. We encourage you to speak through symbols; wear keffiyehs, bring Palestinian signs of sumud (steadfast endurance), carry flags, symbols or signs.
We do ask:
1. No demonizing
2. No scapegoating
3. No dehumanizing
Is this a fundraiser?
Yes, please raise funds and donate to organize that provide relief to refugees and displaced people in Palestine. Feel free to share where you are donating funds to in the event chat.

Join Nadia Tommalieh on a culinary journey to the bustling markets of the ancient city of Jerusalem, where she’ll show you how to make iconic street foods that have been savored for generations. You’ll learn the rich cultural history behind these beloved recipes as you make freshly baked ka’ak al Quds (Jerusalem Sesame Bread) and qudsiyeh (creamy hummus with fava beans in a zesty citrus sauce). You’ll discover a twist on traditional favorites with falafel mahshi (falafel stuffed with caramelized onions and sumac) paired with tarator 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.
