Hike for Palestine
We are delighted to announce our first hike for Palestine! Hiking is a part of our culture. It is how wild zaatar and sage are picked, how we survey our land, and how we stay grounded in our agricultural heritage.
Let us practice here until we are all able to return home! We honor the indigenous land that we reside on, and appreciate its blessings.
