It may seem intimidating but it isn’t difficult to make this recipe , though it is a bit of a time commitment. Don’t worry if your rolls don’t end up elegant and thin, they taste just as good when they’re squat and fat, which is the only way Palestinian make them. Though this recipe can be prepared with meat but don’t worry !

Eid Mubarak to you all our friends – Enshalah Noor society launches the sacrifice project for Eid al-Adha for this year, and we hope that you will participate in the donation and help us cover the needs of our community in the Aida camp for Palestinian refugees, especially for people with need and people with disabilities, knowing that in sacrifices we adhere to the special standards for sacrifice
Slaughtering on the day of Aid after the prayer and the days of Tachriq
Ethical breeding in the open air
Lamb, goat and ram over 6 months old
Certified and nominative halal slaughter
Your lamb will be redistributed to families in dire straits by the associations’ volunteers on the day of sacrifice. ##Please join and share!!
Summary
Eid al-Adha involves the slaughter of an animal and the sharing of the meat in three equal parts – for family, relatives, friends and the poor. The goal is to ensure that every Muslim eats meat. This year, the number of people who need assistance has increased significantly due to the high prices and the lack of Palestinian income. The projects target all vulnerable groups in Palestine, given that successive crises have had a significant impact on the lives of all people living in Palestin camps
Challenge
Due to the high prices in Palestine and the wage problems of the Palestinian Authority, this has led to major problems at the level of the Palestinian community and family, especially for families with low and daily incomes and the families of people with disabilities, the matter has become more difficult for them. The price of red meat rose fold, with some cuts costing more than the minimum monthly wage.
Solution
This year, Noor will implement the Qurbani project by distributing meat portions to the most vulnerable families. Each portion of meat is about 2 kg. Moreover, we will bring joy to the hearts of children by providing them with clothes and toys. Eid cakes or maamoul will also be provided as Eid gifts for vulnerable families. Through this project, we aim to show the solidarity and solidarity of people with disabilities and poor families on Eid al-Adha.
Long-Term Impact
This initiative will feed a huge number of families living in the Palestinian refugee camps in Palestine in the city of Bethlehem (Aida and Al-Azza camps). The idea behind our project is that donating and supplying the needy with meat and gifts goes beyond nutrition, it represents safety, hope, dignity and solidarity. You can be a part of positive change by getting involved and raising awareness about this topic. It is very important to remind those in need and the world that we are together.
it may seem daunting to make this recipe but the time it takes to prepare the stuffed vine leaves is well worth the effort. I’d also recommend you prepare this dish following the same social customs as those in Palestine: get friends or family together to prepare the rice, stuff the leaves, cook them and finally eat the meal together. There is something very nice about preparing food in groups and this is a perfect dish to do just that.
