The sun beats down against the windows of the <strong>Dar Al-Majus<\/strong>; inside, sitting on a colorful carpet, the children of the city listen enchanted to the <strong>folk tales<\/strong> of their land, which Tali reads from the large book she holds in her hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reading-aloud\">Reading aloud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The idea of offering the children of Bethlehem the <strong>reading of Palestinian folk tales aloud<\/strong> came to us during the war period,&#8221; says Tali. &#8220;We organized a workshop for children between the ages of 5 and 8, focused on <strong>courage<\/strong> and the importance of cultivating the <strong>bond<\/strong> with one&#8217;s land and identity.

In the same way, ancient fairy tales preserve the history of the peoples they tell about.&#8221;   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tali is a girl from Bethlehem who deals with activities dedicated to children, especially <strong>artistic<\/strong>.\n&#8220;After telling the story, and after discussing its meaning and suggestions all together, we devote ourselves to <strong>manual work<\/strong> such as drawing or the use of colors.\nThese are activities that I specially design myself, in order to link them to the fairy tale of the day, involving the characters and places.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stories Tali tells come from the book <em><a href=\"https:\/\/yplus.ps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Muhawi-Ibrahim-and-Sharif-Kanaana-Speak-Bird-Speak-Again-Palestinian-Arab-Folktales.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Speak, bird, speak again: Palestinian Arab folktales<\/a><\/em>, published in 1989 in English.

Reading it transports us to an <strong>evening in the East<\/strong>, listening to the voice of the storyteller \u2013 or storyteller \u2013 in the dim light of an oil lamp; in fact, it is often <strong>women<\/strong> who play the role of narrators \u2013 who modulate formulas and repetitions aimed at increasing the listener&#8217;s suspension of disbelief, distancing themselves from everyday reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children go to Dar Al-Majus during the day, and the light that is added to the sun does not come from an oil lamp, but from electricity; yet <strong>the magic<\/strong> spreads through the air in the same way.\n&#8220;I observed the pleasure of the children in listening,&#8221; says Tali, &#8220;their desire to sit down and actively interact with the stories.\nA <strong>spark<\/strong> lights up in their eyes, while laughter and exclamations of surprise accompany the twists and turns of the narrative.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;These folk tales, full of wizards, formulas and ancient spells, stimulate their <strong>imagination<\/strong>, offering a temporary <strong>escape <\/strong>from the terrible reality of war and the frightening news they have to hear every day. Sometimes I had to change some words,&#8221; adds the girl, &#8220;because they were too strong or too explicit for today&#8217;s society, for today&#8217;s children.&#8221; Tali explains that this is the reason why <em>Speak, bird, speak again <\/em>was <strong>censored<\/strong> in 2007 by the Palestinian Authority, which briefly withdrew it from libraries and schools that had adopted it as a textbook.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;However, I think it was a wrong decision, since the book was written and compiled with great <strong>authenticity<\/strong>.\nIn the past, our grandmothers and mothers told these stories at family gatherings, and the terms used were commonly accepted among them.\nIt is the <strong>mirror<\/strong> of a culture that, while changing over time and adapting to the twists and turns of history, <strong>remains in its essence<\/strong> and in its role as representative of a people that today is in danger of disappearing.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Educating children to love fairy tales means <strong>fighting<\/strong> against the disappearance of an identifying popular culture; also thanks to Tali and the entire Dar Al-Majus these Palestinian fairy tales will not die, but will continue to make their voices heard &#8220;<em><strong>as long as the birds continue to sing<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Story of Jummez Bin Yazur, Chief of the Birds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude, here is an excerpt from one of the popular Arab folk tales of Palestine: it is the story of Sitt il-Husun, a young and beautiful girl who falls in love with Jummez, Chief of the Birds, and faces a thousand adventures and vicissitudes in order to keep him with her.
