This week Elana taught a poetry workshop in the village of Nahaleen in the West Bank, and about thirty women took part (plus kids).
The enthusiasm and the courage of the women writers was infectious. Their poems were translated from Arabic to English and vice-versa, giving voice to dreams of freedom, memories of childhood, and the smells of Mama's kitchen.
Al Quds, I wish for my children to go to Al Quds without obstacle.
The Workshop was organized by Jihan and Daud Nassar of the Tent of Nations.
Their vision of active and peaceful resistance incorporates reaching out to local Bethlehem communities and nurturing the ancestral land. To learn more about their mission and the activities of the Nasser Farm click here.
