For many families, the preparation of Eid Ka'ek is a multigenerational affair. Mothers, daughters, and grandmothers come together, sharing not just the labor of love but also stories and memories that have been passed down through generations. The communal activity is about more than just making sweets; it serves as a vessel for cultural transmission and a way to reinforce familial bonds. "This tradition goes beyond the simple act of baking; it's part of our identity, our heritage," said Fatima Ahmad, 59, from Gaza City. "Despite hardships and the challenges we face daily, taking the time to bake Eid Ka'ek reminds us of our resilience, our togetherness, and the sweetness of our culture."
