Arrabi Family news

Since this board is for the family, I think it's fitting to share the family news:

1- Sawsan got engaged. Her fiance's name is Mohammad. He works in Dubai or Qatar. The engagement was in the summer. Inshallah planned marriage is next summer.

2- Omar Hawash got engaged also to Lama. Lama is sister-in-law of Fadi, my brother-in-law :-). They got engaged in October of this year, and inshallah planned wedding is August of next year.

3- My beloved brother Muneeb got engaged also to Tamara Abu Hassan. This was also back in October. Inshallah wedding sometime in the summer if all goes fine.

4- Most of the Arrabi family spent this Eid Al-Adha out of Amman: Teta Om Rashid went to Dubai to visit my uncle Riad. My aunt Om Tareq went with Abu Tareq and Ibrahim to visit Tareq also in Dubai. Dina and Husma made it from Saudi to Duabi for the eid. Also my cousins Farah and Sarah are in Dubai. Farah is working there, and Sarah is visiting. Ammi Zahi stayed in Kuwait for eid. And Ammi Rami, Abu Rabie3, and the family went to Hems. Thus, only my father and Ammi Rasem stayed in Amman this eid.

Aswat Concert Dec 1, 2007

Salam Family,

The few past months were very busy. Part of this is due to Aswat, the very nice community ensemble for Arabic Music. Most of the players have other more formal lives during the week. However, we gather on Sundays and we live in a different world of Arabic music. Most of them are not even arabs, but just very interested in the arabic music - either for change, or for it itself.

We had our biggest and nicest concert so far on December 1st, 2007. I uploaded few videos of the concert:
