Children everywhere love making joyful noise, and what better way than with the Turteka? This small hand drum holds a special place in Palestinian culture, where every child has played it, turning quiet moments into bursts of laughter and rhythm. Whether you’re raising a Palestinian child, know one in the diaspora, or simply want to introduce children to this joyful tradition, the Turteka offers a fun way to celebrate both play and culture. The Turteka is handcrafted by skilled artisans who have kept this tradition alive, with each drum made from authentic natural leather. Fine-tuned by Wassim Qassis, a musician and director at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, this drum sounds as good as it looks, so much so that it’s concert-ready. Not just for children, the Turteka’s sound is a delight for the whole family, blending tradition with a modern touch. Let the Turteka be a joyful way for all ages to express themselves—whether for fun, music, or making a statement. Its rhythmic beats can spread joy and echo the call for justice. Bring home a piece of Palestinian heritage, where every beat celebrates freedom, culture, and the power to be heard.

Welcome to Sumud Stories – where each product we create is a celebration of collaboration, craftsmanship, and resilience. Our journey starts in Palestine, a land known for its deep historical roots and a culture rich with diverse artisanal practices. Here, we work closely with local artisans, combining their traditional techniques with innovative designs to craft pieces that narrate the rich artisanal industry of Palestine and its people.

“Sumud” means steadfastness in Arabic, reflecting our commitment to endure and thrive despite challenges. This ethos is woven into every aspect of our work, guiding our artisans as they produce items that are not only culturally significant but also of the highest quality.

We are a collective of Palestinian artisans, each contributing their unique story of resilience and creativity to the products they make. Our mission is to bring the beauty and richness of Palestinian craftsmanship to the world, connecting people with our heritage through items that resonate with deep cultural significance.
