The Digital Department of the Foreign Office to the Western Galilee

  • July 25, 2021
A wonderful initiative by Jewish National Fund – USA brought The Digital Department of the Foreign Office to the Western Galilee. It was an amazing tour through the multi-cultural Entrepreneurship of the region.
We visited Basma Hino for tea and traditional sweets and her courageous life story. We continued to the house of Zarafat in the village Yarka where we rolled her tasty vine leaves together, dined and heard the story of the Druze community.
We met Assaf Lavie, the founder of the successful Malka Beer factory where we had a glance of the Tin Time Studio exhibition.
We met Alaa Switaat, founder of Buza ice cream in Tarshiha and Walied Khoury, a traditional blacksmith in Fassuta.
What a day.
Thank you!
