Hope is what we do.

Our vision is for all people of Palestine to have life in abundance. Our mission is to raise awareness and support for Dar al-Kalima University, the first and only university of arts and culture in all of Palestine.

In 2024, we are excited to honor the 20-year anniversary of the establishment of Bright Stars of Bethlehem by Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb. Come and be a part of our journey as we delve into the vibrant history of the Palestinian people and demonstrate our commitment to nurturing and empowering the future creative leaders of Palestine through our support for Dar al-Kalima University. Together, we strive to instill hope and create opportunities for the next generation.

Tourism is one of the primary industries in Palestine, and the Bethlehem region accounts for 70% of that business. The HEC will equip our DAK culinary arts graduates with the skills and competencies needed to play a much larger part in that arena—through employment at one of the twelve hotels and seven restaurants with which DAK has forged partnerships. The HEC promises to stand out as a must-have dining experience overlooking all of Bethlehem with its 365-degree glass dome and state-of-the-art kitchens.
