The Ḥaram Al-Ibrāhīmī or the Cave of the Patriarchs in southern West Bank, Palestine, is known as the burial place of the Prophet Ibrahim, his son and grandson, and their wives.
Throughout the Middle Ages, until the British Mandate, it was also a center of hospitality exemplifying the best practices of Arab-Islamic hospitality. This lecture will explore the history of the hospitality practices associated with this holy place.
The event will be held in English, with simultaneous Arabic interpretation.
