There’s a kind of magic that happens when we gather around a table, hands moving, stories flowing, hearts softening.I Just Love Grapeleaf is more than just a workshop — it’s a remembering. It’s a return to the kitchens and tables where so many of us first felt what it meant to belong.Growing up, sitting at my Sitti’s table, rolling grape leaves wasn’t just about making food. It was about love. It was about healing. It was about being held — by tradition, by family, by something bigger than all of us. It was where stories were told, jokes were shared, tears were wiped away without anyone needing to say a word. It was where Palestine lived — in the smell of the leaves, in the laughter, in the way love showed up, again and again, even when the world tried to strip it away.This workshop is a small way to honor that. A way to gather, to roll, to talk, to listen. A way to remember that our joy, our stories, our traditions — they are acts of resistance, too.Whether you’ve been rolling grape leaves your whole life, or this is your first time, you’re welcome here. Whether you have a story to tell, or just want to sit quietly and soak it in, you’re welcome here. Whether you come carrying a deep connection to Palestine, or you're learning and finding your own path to it, you’re welcome here.We’ll roll grape leaves together. We’ll tell stories if we want. We’ll make space for laughter, for memory, for healing, for the little everyday joys that have always been our greatest form of survival.Because at the end of the day — this isn’t just about grape leaves. It’s about love. It’s about remembering where we come from. It’s about building the kind of community that keeps us going.Come as you are. Bring your heart. Let’s roll.
