 Hi everybody! I am going to share with you today a story called Jaffa and Fatma, Shalom Salam. In a beautiful land called the land of milk and honey, there lived two neighbors. One was named Jaffa and the other was named Fatma. Jaffa and Fatma each owned a beautiful date brove. During the week they both worked very hard, gathering their dates. On most days Jaffa and Fatma sold all their dates at the market and they were able to buy plenty of tasty food to eat, which they often shared. Jaffa loved Fatma's shwarma and Fatma loved Jaffa's schnitzel. Fatma prayed in the mosque and Jaffa prayed in the synagogue. They both loved God and they both loved to follow God's way. Jaffa would read from her sitter in the morning and Fatma would read from her Quran in the morning. Jaffa fasted on Yom Kippur and Fatma fasted during Ramadan. Fatma celebrated Eid and Jaffa celebrated Passover. When Jaffa saw Fatma she would wave and call Shalom Peace. And when Fatma saw Jaffa she would wave and call Shalom Peace. One year there was very little rain. Fatma and Jaffa had very few dates to eat or to sell at the market. Jaffa lay awake at night. She was worried. Maybe Fatma is hungry, thought Jaffa. Fatma lay awake at night and she was worried. Perhaps Jaffa didn't have enough to eat today, thought Fatma. Fatma placed a basket of dates on her donkey. Then she took them to Jaffa's house. She poured the dates into a basket on Jaffa's porch. Meanwhile Jaffa collected a basket of dates, placed it on her donkey and carried it to Fatma's house. She poured the dates into a basket on Fatma's porch. The two natives quietly made their way back home feeling happy. In the morning when Jaffa walked onto her porch, to her great surprise she saw her basket full of dates. Goodness, I have so many dates. I will take more to Fatma tonight. Meanwhile Fatma walked out onto her porch and she was just as surprised. Goodness, I have more dates than I thought. I will take some more to Jaffa tonight. That night both Jaffa and Fatma loaded their donkeys with dates and sent off toward each other's homes. They met just where their fields came together. Fatma looked at Jaffa and Jaffa looked at Fatma. The two friends hugged each other and laughed. Shalom, said Jaffa. Salam, said Fatma. Thank you for thinking of me, said Jaffa. Thank you for thinking of me too, said Fatma. And together they returned to Jaffa's house to share a meal of dates and tea. The end. Very good friends they were. I hope you all have wonderful friends out there as well that you can share with. Thank you.
