SUMMARY:Ethical Meat\, Diary & Produce Consumption | Fahim Alwan
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the Hadith\, “the stomach is the house of diseases\, and prevention is the best medicine\,” join a two-decade veteran in the health food industry to talk about the trickle-down effect corporate-controlled agribusiness has on our health\, particularly meat\, dairy\, and produce.  \n\n\n\n11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. | Saturday\, January 20 | Prayer Hall | Join us in person or watch virtually live or on replay at mcceastbay.org/live \n\n\n\nThis discussion aims to unravel the profound impact of conscientious food choices on our well-being. We will learn about the stark differences between organic/nonorganic foods\, grass-fed versus non-grass-fed meat\, and more. \n\n\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.orgAbout the PresenterUnder the guidance of Shuyook in Homs\, Syria\, Fahim Alwan first developed a fundamental understanding of Islam. He embarked on a lifelong journey exploring human health. \n\n\n\nHis educational foundation in agricultural engineering and marketing set the stage for a career in various health and health food industries\, from selling medical equipment to vitamins and supplements to ultimately leading to a profound realization about the essence of well-being: quality food. \n\n\n\nInspired by the Prophetic Hadith\, who said that “the stomach is the house of diseases\, and prevention is the best medicine\,” Fahim dedicated himself to providing the highest quality food to the Muslim community. \n\n\n\nHis commitment extended to help source fresh organic meat and produce from local farmers to create a tangible impact on people’s health. \n\n\n\nObserving the transformative effects of his work\, Fahim intensified his efforts to help those in need of essential\, health-conscious foods.  \n\n\n\nAs he posed critical questions about the connection between ethical food choices and health\, he pondered the stark difference between factory-farmed products and locally sourced\, ethical\, and organic alternatives. \n\n\n\nFahim founded BlossomPure Organic\, an eco-certified halal organic\, grass-fed meat and poultry company\, in 2002 in Ontario\, Canada.

See more here: https://mcceastbay.org/event/activism-art-for-people-of-palestineDuring this Jumu’ah at MCC on Friday\, January 26\, Soul of My Soul volunteers will be at a table in the MCC Foyer during the three MCC Jumu’ahs\, where children can contribute to this display by drawing on the spot. \n\n\n\nSoul of My Soul is organizing this outdoor art exhibit in Pleasanton for the people of Palestine. The goal is to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis\, push people to action\, and provide reliable resources to the public to promote further education on Gaza and Palestine. \n\n\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\nWhoOur organization group comprises Yosra\, Sadaf\, Deana\, Dina\, Zainab\, and Omeera. We are a group of moms who decided something needs to be done about all this! We are not all Muslims or Arabs\, but we are all humans. \n\n\n\nProject goals \n\n\n\n\nShort term: a permanent ceasefire\n\n\n\nDefunding Israel\n\n\n\n\nThe name of our organization is flexible enough to continue after a ceasefire is reached and also to allow us to highlight other issues of the occupation or create new displays and exhibits. \n\n\n\nExhibit goals \n\n\n\n\nExpose those who only consume mainstream media to more of the story\n\n\n\nPush people to action – write to politicians\, sign petitions\, BDS\, attend protests\n\n\n\nPresent new sources and accounts people can follow so that they can continue their education after the event\n\n\n\n\nWe need to keep these goals in mind when consistently creating this exhibit. Everything must be done with intention and detail. \n\n\n\nOverarching Theme \n\n\n\n\nWe want this to be quiet\, calm\, reflective.\n\n\n\nProtests are loud and in your face.\n\n\n\nThis appeals to the human side of people\, and the main goal is humanizing the victims.\n\n\n\nWe are also highlighting specific atrocities committed by Israel through the stories of the people whom they have killed.\n\n\n\n\nBrand \n\n\n\nWe want to have a “brand” for several reasons: \n\n\n\n\nIt helps us market our events in newspapers when advertising an “upcoming event.”\n\n\n\nIt helps give us legitimacy when applying for permits\n\n\n\nAllows people to visit our site and access resources that were shared at the event\n\n\n\nCan encourage people to bring friends and family to our next event\n\n\n\n\nList of Displays \n\n\n\nWe will have a variety of displays that are different in terms of color\, size\, positioning\, medium\, etc. This is intentional as it encourages people to walk through the exhibit\, engage and interact with each unique display\, and learn something new. \n\n\n\nEach display will have a large poster with the piece’s name\, the artist’s name\, and an explanation of the issue the display is highlighting. Beside this large poster is a small (8.5” x 11”) paper that directs people to a QR code. Each QR code takes people to a relevant video or news article to the display they are viewing. All QR codes will be provided at the end and listed on our website so people can reference them later.
