Sindyanna’s Green Day
We will be holding a Green Day at our visitors center to celebrate the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), featuring cross-cultural activities related to establishing a green, fair and sustainable economy. We hope to see you all there!
Together through interactive workshops, including basket making, hydroponic agriculture, paper recycling, and cross-border solidarity, we will seek answers to questions such as:
- What is an ecological basket?
- What can you do with palm fronds?
- Why and how do we recycle?
- How can we grow vegetables without soil?
- What is the connection between lettuce and women’s empowerment?
- Why Fair Trade?
We will also be running an arts and crafts fair which will feature products produced by Palestinian artisan members of BFTA. Following the workshops, we will share a delicious meal provided by recent graduates of Sindyanna’s catering course.
A simple wish for this holiday season – we hope that everyone who reads this will tell their family and friends about Sindyanna, and how every bottle of our Fair Trade Olive Oil encapsulates a taste of coexistence.
We speak different languages, yet we are united by endless colors and shades. Together, building bridges between cultures, we help bring Sindyanna’s new vision to life. This is how our olive oil creates hope.
This year’s olive harvest is happening on Saturday October 28 from 8am to 1pm, and everyone is welcome to join us. You can find more details in our harvest poster (in Hebrew).

Anyone who visited Sindyanna of Galilee in Kafr Qana on Saturday (March 4, 2017) was impressed by an unusual sight: some fifty Arab and Jewish women, including members of the Workers Advice Center (WAC-MAAN), women from Sindyanna, and members of the general public, all busily weaving baskets from date fronds.
