Today our story is about Fara7 and Karam. Two young Palestinians in Love who get married according to the Palestinian tradition in one of the many refugee camps all around our occupied Falasteen, but just before their wedding night, the Middle Eastern version of a bachelor party must be honored. We call it the 7enna night.

Told in the past tense.

Starting this episode with a snippet from a Tarweeda, a style of music performed traditionally by Palestinian women, and ending it with a snippet of anotherTarweeda. For Falasteen.
