    I went to Dorris's home on a tour offered by the Tel Aviv municipality. She served us coffee from her family's special blend and one of the best baklawas I ever tasted. But the best part was her stories about her own life, about the demographics of Jaffa and the challenges of starting her own business as a Christian Arab woman. She told all these in a very lively manner, with a theatrical touch. I would definitely recommend a visit to her home.

    Doris was a Charing host that let us see her life and history. As people who were also a minority, my family and I related to much or her life. We also were able to better understand the complexities of living in Israel and learned a lot. I recommend Doris's coffee hosting to any who wants to understand the complex social factors that obtain in Israel.

    I took a group of students from an American university and they loved the experience--it was one of their favorite activities in the several weeks we spent in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Doris has tremendous energy and is a wonderful storyteller. We loved the personal elements (as well as the coffee).

    We were a group of 10 walking Ajami neighborhood in Jaffa. We ended up in Doris' beautiful house. She is a gifted story teller. For almost 2 hours we listened to her story of growing up in a Christian family in Jaffa. Highly recommend. The hospitality and coffee are also great!
