George Harb gives a speech, c.1960
No full textThis is a digital reproduction of an image held in the private collection of George Harb. This photograph shows George Harb giving a speech c.1960.George Harb became famous all over Bethlehem as a “khatib” (orator/public speaker) due to his specialism in the Arabic language and his talent for oratory. Arabic was the main subject he taught in his career as a teacher. As such he was often selected, and often still is, for any event requiring a public speaker, especially for the various marriage rituals. These include the “tulba” (formal request of hand in marriage – usually a private affair within the families’ homes); the “khutba” (engagement ceremony/party where bride and groom exchange rings); the “sahra” (evening party for the groom and male friends/relatives); and the actual wedding reception/party (which includes the “zaffa” – wedding procession). George would be hired as a speaker at all these events, especially for Bethlehem’s notable and elite families. He would also be hired for funerals, especially during the First Intifada when he was regularly called out to Bethlehem’s refugee camps to commemorate individuals recently martyred.

Wedding portrait of Albert Dos and Madelaine Harb, c.1950
No full textThis is a digital reproduction of an image held in the private collection of George Harb. The photograph is a wedding portrait of Albert Dos and Madelaine Harb (both cousins of George on his father’s side). This image was taken around the 1950s, as indicated by style of dress: Madeleine wears a tight bodice that pulls in the waist and meets a full skirt. Her hairstyle would have been very on trend for the period. The brushed under bob was a popular style that was often worn sleek and smooth, sometimes with a slight wave at the front. The ends of the hair were always turned under in a soft roll.
Alberts suit is also indicative of popular 1950s style. Suits in the 1950s often dropped straight to the hip hitting around mid-thigh. Most suits were single-breasted with long, wide lapels, and fastened up the front with two or three buttons sitting low, exposing a long necktie and usually no waistcoat. Pocket squares were also popular, as worn by Albert in the photograph above.This image is part of the George Harb Photos collection, within the George Harb project of the Planet Bethlehem Archive.</div
