We launched #GivingTuesday with an inspiring update from Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb about the impactful work of the Hospitality Educational Center. This update was part of our event, "Serving at the Upper Room: Palestinian Hospitality at Its Best," where we celebrated the rich traditions of Palestinian hospitality and the vital services provided by the center.

20 Years of Hope! Isn't that incredible? We honor the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Bright Stars of Bethlehem by Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb. Be a part of our journey as we delve into the vibrant history of the Palestinian people and demonstrate our commitment to nurturing and empowering the future creative leaders of Palestine through our support for Dar al-Kalima University. Together, we strive to instill hope and create opportunities for the next generation.

We're excited to feature the talented Palestinian artist Lucy Janjigian, her recently published memoir, and her captivating paintings. This event is hosted by Bright Stars of Bethlehem and promises to be an inspiring showcase of art and unity.

What part might religion, politics and solidarity play in a solution moving forward? Join us for Bright Stars of Bethlehem’s compelling interfaith panel discussion featuring our visionary world changers, Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb, Rabbi Brant Rosen, Dr. Iva Carruthers, and Dr. Rami Nashashibi, each bringing their own unique religious and political perspectives to the table. Bright Stars of Bethlehem will feature hopeful stories of how Dar al-Kalima University is empowering the next generation of creative leaders in Palestine, in the midst of genocide.
