Huli ʻo Ibtisam Fares ma ka ʻaoʻao o kahi umu liʻiliʻi ma waho, e hana ana i ka berena pita hou i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā pālahalaha o ka zaʻatar, a i ʻole ka oregano hihiu, ka pepa ʻulaʻula hou, a me ka ʻiʻo. Lawe ʻo ia iā lākou i kahi papaʻaina waho i uhi ʻia me nā mea ʻono kūloko e pili ana i ka hummus, nā lau hua waina i hoʻopiha ʻia, a me nā ʻano salakeke hou, ʻoki ʻia i nā manawa ma mua. Ke kū nei kahi hue wai lemonade me ka mint hou e kali ana i nā malihini make wai.
ʻO Fares, he scarf keʻokeʻo i kāʻei ʻia a puni kona lauoho ma ke ʻano kuʻuna Druze, hoʻolimalima ʻelua mau hoalauna, nā wahine ʻelua, e kōkua iā ia e kuke a lawelawe i nā pūʻulu o ka hapa nui o nā Iudaio ʻIseraʻela e hele mai e kipa i ke kūlanakauhale i nā hopena pule.
"Mai koʻu wā liʻiliʻi, makemake wau i ka kuke," haʻi ʻo ia i ka Media Line. "ʻAʻole ʻae koʻu makuahine iaʻu e kōkua, akā nānā pono wau a aʻo i nā mea āpau mai ia."
Ua like ka meaʻai Druze me ko Suria a me Lebanona kokoke, a hoʻohana i nā mea ʻala maoli ma ia wahi. Pono e hana hou ʻia nā mea a pau, ʻaʻole ʻai ʻia nā koena, wahi āna.
ʻO Fares, ka mea e hana nei ma ke ʻano he kākau ʻōlelo ma ke kaona kūloko, he ʻāpana o kahi kipi o nā wahine Druze e hoʻomaka ana i nā ʻoihana ʻaʻole e hoʻololi i ko lākou nohona kuʻuna. ʻO ka Druze, ka mea e noho nui nei ma ʻIseraʻela, Lebanona a me Suria, mālama i kahi nohona kuʻuna. ʻO ia hoʻi, ua manaʻo ʻia he kūpono ʻole no nā wahine Druze haipule e haʻalele i ko lākou mau home e ʻimi i ka hana. Akā ʻaʻohe kumu e hiki ʻole ai ka hana iā lākou.
ʻO Fares kekahi o nā kaukani wahine Druze e wehe nei i nā ʻoihana home-based ma nā ala ʻaʻole e hoʻololi i kā lākou moʻomeheu. Ke kōkua nei ka Israeli Ministry of Tourism iā lākou, e hāʻawi ana i nā papa i ka ʻoihana a me ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻolaha. I kekahi mau hihia, ʻo nā wahine wale nō ka mea nāna e mālama i ka ʻohana.
He mau poloka mai ka hale o Fares ma keia kaona o 5000 o Druze nui loa, e noho ana kekahi lima o na wahine i loko o ka poepoe i ka lace crocheting. Kapa ʻia ʻo Lace Makers, hui nā wahine i hoʻokahi manawa i ka pule e hana i kā lākou papahana. Hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā paia me nā lole pākaukau nani a me nā lole pēpē a nā wahine e kūʻai aku nei.
"Aia ko mākou kauhale i kahi coma mākaʻikaʻi no ʻumi makahiki," ʻo Hisin Bader, kahi mea manawaleʻa i haʻi aku i ka Media Line. “ʻO ka mākaʻikaʻi wale nō i loaʻa iā mākou ʻo ka poʻe e holo ana ma ke ala nui (e ʻimi ana i ka ʻai wikiwiki). Akā ma ʻaneʻi, i loko o ke kauhale, ʻaʻohe mea a mākou.
Ua hoʻomaka lākou i ka makahiki 2009 me ʻelima mau wahine, ʻōlelo ʻo ia, a i kēia lā he 40. Ke hana nei lākou i ka wehe ʻana i kahi lālā ʻelua.
Ke kākoʻo nei ka Ministry of Tourism o Israel i kēia mau hana, ua haʻi aku ka waha ʻōlelo ʻo Anat Shihor-Aronson i ka Media Line, he "lanakila lanakila." Makemake ka ʻIseraʻela i ka huakaʻi, a ʻo kahi huakaʻi hele ma hope o ka pūʻali koa i Nepal a i ʻole Brazil ua lilo i de rigeur no ka hapa nui o nā koa hou i hoʻokuʻu ʻia. I ka hopena, ua male kēia mau koa a loaʻa nā keiki, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka huakaʻi i loko o ka ʻIseraʻela no nā hoʻomaha hopena pule.
"He nui nā mea e hāʻawi aku ai ka Druze - anthropologically, culturally and culinarily," wahi āna. "He ʻoiaʻiʻo lākou a makemake mākou e paipai iā lākou."
ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona mai kēia kūlanakauhale o 5000 ma nā mauna o ka ʻIseraʻela ʻākau he mea kupanaha. He anuanu ka ea, ʻoiai i ke kauwela. Ua wehe kekahi mau ʻohana i nā zimmers, kahi huaʻōlelo Kelemania no ka moe a me ka ʻaina kakahiaka, a i ke kauwela ua piha lākou i nā Iudaio Israeli mai Tel Aviv e pakele i ka wela o ke kūlanakauhale.
ʻO ka Druze he poʻe liʻiliʻi ʻōlelo Arabic e noho ana ma ka Middle East. I loko o ka ʻIseraʻela, aia ma kahi o 130,000 Druze, ʻo ka hapa nui ma ka ʻākau o Galilaia a me nā Golan Heights. Ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, aia ma kahi o hoʻokahi miliona Druze. Ua ʻike lākou i ko lākou kupuna iā Ietero, ka makuahōnōwai kāne o Mose, ka mea a lākou i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ke kāula mua ʻo Druze.
He mea huna kā lākou hoʻomana, e nānā ana i ka manaʻoʻiʻo i ke Akua hoʻokahi, ka lani a me Gehena, a me ka hoʻokolokolo. ʻO ka mea i mare ma waho o ka manaʻoʻiʻo, ua kipaku ʻia ʻo ia, wahi a Sheikh Bader Qasem, he alakaʻi ʻuhane a he mamo o ke alakaʻi ʻuhane mua o ke kauhale, ʻo Sheikh Mustafa Qasem. Ua ʻoki ʻia lākou mai ko lākou ʻohana a ʻaʻole hiki ke kanu ʻia i kahi hale kupapaʻu Druze.
Noho ʻo Qasem ma luna o kahi noho ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula i waenakonu o ka hale pule i kālai ʻia mai ka pōhaku, wehewehe ʻo Qasem i ka pōʻino o ka mare ʻana no ka Druze.
"ʻO ka male ʻana i kēia lā hiki ke alakaʻi iā mākou i ka pau ʻana," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia i ka Media Line. "Ke ʻōlelo mau nei ka poʻe no ke aloha ʻaʻohe palena - i ko mākou kaiāulu, aia kahi palena."
ʻO kekahi ʻano ʻokoʻa ʻē aʻe o ka Druze ʻo ia ke kūpaʻa i ka ʻāina a lākou e noho ai. I loko o ka ʻIseraʻela, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā kāne Druze a pau, e like me nā Iudaio Israeli āpau, ʻoiai ʻaʻole lawelawe nā wahine Druze no nā kumu haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole like me kā lākou mau hoa wahine ʻIseraʻela. E hoʻomaka ana ke keiki a Sheikh Bader i kāna lawelawe ma kekahi o nā ʻāpana elite o ka ʻIseraʻela.
Nui nā kāne Druze i ka pūʻali koa a i ʻole ka mākaʻi. ʻO Faraj Fares ke alakaʻi o ka ʻāpana o ka ʻIseraʻela ʻākau i ke kaua lua o Lebanona he ʻumi makahiki i hala. ʻO ia ke kuleana no ka palekana o nā ʻumi tausani o ka poʻe kamaʻāina o ka ʻIseraʻela i ka wā i puhi aku ai ʻo Hizbullah i nā haneli haneli o Katyush ma ka ʻākau o ʻIseraʻela. Ua noi ʻia ʻo Fares e hoʻomālamalama i ka lama ma ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka lā kūʻokoʻa o ka ʻIseraʻela i ka makahiki aʻe, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻāina e hoʻohanohano.
I kēia mau lā, hoʻokele ʻo ia i kahi hale ʻaina mauna i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā mea kanu a me nā kumulāʻau ma ka piko mauna ma waho o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Rame. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo "Delicacies in the Orchard" ʻōlelo ʻo Fares makemake ʻo ia i nā malihini e ʻike i ka ʻono mālie i ka ʻai, ʻaʻole e hoʻopaʻa i ka ʻai wikiwiki i ko lākou ala i kahi ʻē aʻe. He mea ʻala maikaʻi a hoʻomākaukau ʻia ka meaʻai - no ka laʻana, ʻo ke kebab, i hana ʻia me ke keiki hipa ʻokiʻoki ʻia, ua kālua ʻia a puni i kahi lāʻau kinamona.
Hana kāna wahine i nā mea kuke a pau, a "ʻoliʻoli ʻo ia iā ia" koi ʻo ia.
"Ma kā mākou hoʻomana pono ʻoe e hana i mea e hauʻoli ai ʻo ia," wahi āna. "Ma waho aʻe, mālama wau i nā kumulāʻau a me nā mea kanu a ʻoi aku kaʻu hana ma mua o kāna hana."
