Sunday Subhiyeh (Sunset)
Join us for a Maamoul-shaping session, where we'll use special tongs known as Malqat and molds called Qallab to decorate these date-filled cookies. Whether you'd like to commemorate easter, ramadan, eid, or the arrival of spring, Maamoul is a staple amongst most Arab holiday tables. And they store exceptionally well for those who would like to enjoy them whenever they please.
Our gathering is also a potluck, so you are welcome to bring a dish to share if you'd like to contribute. Note that we have moved to sunset time to accommodate those fasting for Ramadan. Regular Subhiyeh hours will resume after eid.
Subhiyeh is (usually) a morning custom often enjoyed with conversations and food. We gather every other Sunday to engage in repetitive tasks centered around a dish or harvest practice. We adapt our activity as we navigate how to respond to the evolving situation in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and within our community in NY. Whether it's collectively contributing to a fundraiser, rethinking food purchasing habits during strikes and boycotts, or focusing on community care and knowledge-sharing.
Parts of proceeds will go towards the Alnuweiri family fund to help evacuate more family members from Gaza.
