SUMMARY:The Arab Pantry: Tahini
DESCRIPTION:oin Nadia Tommalieh as she dives into the versatile world of tahini\, a staple ingredient in Arabic cuisine. In this class\, you’ll discover the rich history and diverse uses of tahini\, learning how to incorporate its unique flavor and creamy texture into a variety of traditional and fusion dishes. This class will guide you through making fresh tahini from scratch\, and then showcasing it in an array of savory and sweet dishes. We will make kofta w batata bi tahinia (minced seasoned lamb and beef baked with potatoes and tahini sauce); roz bi sha’rieh (toasted vermicelli noodles and rice in olive oil); mutabal betenjan w khodar (smoky roasted eggplant with tomatoes\, peppers\, and tahini); and green salad with a creamy lemon tahini dressing. We will end the class on a sweet note by making traditional halaweh bil foustoq w chokolata (halva with pistachio and chocolate)\, a must-have dessert that perfectly balances the sweetness of sugar with the nutty richness of tahini. \nPlease 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. If a class you’re interested in doesn’t appear in that filtered view\, please email us before registering and we’ll see if the class’s menu can be modified.

SUMMARY:UN Movie Society presents PALESTINE 36
DESCRIPTION:UN Movie Society presents global event featuring Palestine’s Oscar submission for best international feature film Palestine 36\n\n\nVIRTUAL GLOBAL LAUNCH (LIVE & ON DEMAND): UNITED NATIONS\nSaturday\, 29 November 2025 \nInternational Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People\n9:00am EST (New York Time)\nUN Global YouTube:  https://youtu.be/-3hhiNZnS6A \nUN WebTV: https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1q/k1qkhezqeo \n  \nOn the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People\, on Saturday\, 29 November 2025\, the UN Movie Society of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council – dedicated to advancing UN global causes through the transformative power of storytelling\, will present an event featuring Palestine’s Oscar submission for Best International Feature Film – PALESTINE 36.  The entire programme will be broadcasted live & on demand on the global channels of the United Nations – UN Web TV and UN YouTube. \nPALESTINE 36 explores the Arab Revolt of 1936–1939 against British colonial rule. Directed by Annemarie Jacir\, the film lays the historical groundwork for what followed in 1948 and beyond\, making the events an urgent story to bring to the screen. This pivotal moment is essential for understanding the Palestinian question\, which has been on the agenda of the United Nations for nearly eight decades.  The film features an extraordinary international cast\, including British Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons (Reversal of Fortune)\, Irish acclaimed Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones)\, and Palestinian Emmy-nominated Hiam Abbass (Succession).  PALESTINE 36 is Annemarie Jacir’s fourth consecutive film to be selected as Palestine’s Oscar submission for the Best International Feature Film.

SUMMARY:America's Forever Wars in the Middle East" on US imperialism at the People’s Forum.  
DESCRIPTION:Without understanding the imperialist system that underlies the ongoing drive for war\, and that has attempted to destroy the Palestinian people and those who stand with them\, we cannot understand how to confront it. Join popular educators from the Palestinian Youth Movement in a rigorous study of the history and present of US intervention in the Middle East to understand US imperialism\, Israel’s role within it\, and its consequences for working people in the US and around the world.   \n  \nFor nearly half a century\, the United States has been involved in endless wars in the Middle East that have claimed the lives of millions of people. These wars have ballooned the US’ military budget and lined the pockets of wealthy warmongerers as conditions for working people deteriorate. Over the same period\, the US government has financially\, politically\, and militarily backed Israel’s occupation and colonization of Palestine\, including through its full support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. In turn\, people across the political spectrum have begun to question the US government’s continued commitment for a foreign policy predicated on endless war\, devastating interventions\, and unconditional support for Israel\, regardless of the administration in power. \nThis 4-part course from the Palestinian Youth Movement will study the history and present of US intervention in the Middle East to equip participants with a deeper understanding of US imperialism\, Israel’s role within it\, and its consequences for working people in the US and around the world. It seeks to illuminate how it is the imperialist system\, and not just the ideological positions or policies of any one politician in office\, that keeps America at war and invested in the destabilization of the Middle East. Without understanding the imperialist system that underlies the ongoing drive for war\, we cannot understand how to confront it. \nThis course is organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM)\, a grassroots\, international movement that organizes Palestinian and Arab youth to struggle for Palestinian liberation \nWHEN \nAmerica’s Forever Wars in the Middle East is a 4-part hybrid course from Dec. 2 – 11\, meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM ET. Here is the schedule: \n\nSession 1: Introduction to Imperialism: How Gaza Exposed America-First’s False Promises | December 2\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM ET\nSession 2: From Sovereign Nation to Client State: U.S. Imperialism in Egypt | December 4\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM ET\nSession 3: America’s War of Terror on Iraq| December 9\, 6:30 -8:30 PM ET\nSession 4: Imperialism and the Anti-War Struggle in the US | December 11\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM ET

SUMMARY:SZ Gallery’s 5th Persian Garden: First Friday Art Walk
DESCRIPTION:SZ Gallery’s 5th Persian Garden is an exhibit that tells culturally rich stories of Persian culture through contemporary and classically-influenced pieces. Monir & Mehdi Ghanbeigy from Iran have created multimedia artwork together since 1970\, combining Mehdi’s detailed work with Persian miniatures and painting\, Monir’s background in ceramics\, and their mutual love for the history of Persian art.\n.\nMonir and Mehdi began working together in Iran before they moved to England for further training at London and Canterbury College of Art. After returning to Iran in 1980\, they developed a novel style in ceramics and painting\, influenced by both modern art as well as the very rich traditions of Persian pottery and storybook miniatures. They have shown their art at numerous national and international exhibitions\, including the 2012 Venice Biennial\, and have taught for many years at several universities in Iran and in their private workshop. Their pieces are permanently on exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum in Iran\, as well as several museums around the world.\n.\n#persian #art #paintings #persiangarden #szgallery#mercerisland

SUMMARY:Virtual Conversation with Wasim Said
DESCRIPTION:Join the People’s Center for Palestine on Saturday\, December 6th at 10am PT/1pm ET for a virtual conversation with Wasim Said\, speaking from Gaza\, whose book Witness to the Hellfire of Genocide was written after multiple displacements from his home in Beit Hanoun. His testimony offers an urgent account of life in Gaza under ongoing bombardment—an essential narrative for understanding the realities on the ground and the stakes of documenting genocide in real time. The translation was recently published in October 2025 by 1804 Books\, in collaboration with the People’s Center for Palestine and Liberated Texts. \n  \nThe event will also feature reflections from Thiago Ávila\, Fady Joudah\, Mousa Alsadah\, and Danya Al-Saleh\, who will discuss the book’s literary\, political\, and historical significance and the vital role of witnessing for long-term struggle.
