Your guide to celebrating September 23 2025
Skip to all 16 daysSeptember 23 brings 17 observances, led by Za’atar Day, with International Day of Sign Languages and Celebrate Bisexuality Day giving a shared table extra purpose.
Set out a simple morning spread
Begin with warm pita, olive oil, labneh or plain Greek yogurt, cucumbers, and a bowl of za’atar. Pour the oil onto a small plate, scatter over the seasoning, and use the bread to scoop it up. Add fried or soft-boiled eggs if you want breakfast to hold you through the morning. The blend’s tangy sumac and sesame make this a five-minute meal, not a project. For background on the ingredient and the region it comes from, see this Lebanese tourism source.
Make room for every voice at lunch
Invite one or two people for lunch, then make the table easier to join. Learn and use a few basic signs together: hello, thank you, please, eat, and drink. Keep your face visible, speak one at a time, and write a key detail down rather than leaving someone to guess. Those small habits give International Day of Sign Languages a practical place in the meal. Serve roasted chickpeas or vegetables with yogurt and za’atar, which need about 25 minutes in a hot oven.
International Day of Sign Languages

Bring a sharp note to the plate
Make a quick dressing for the vegetables: whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a teaspoon of honey. Toss it with sliced cucumber, tomato, or greens just before serving. It takes two minutes and gives National Apple Cider Vinegar Day a clear job at the table. Put a few snack sticks on a separate plate for anyone who wants something quick while food is cooking.

Finish with an open invitation
Make your gathering explicitly welcoming before anyone arrives. Send a direct note saying who is coming, what food will be there, and that partners and friends are welcome. During the meal, avoid asking people to explain or defend their identity, and shut down assumptions if they surface. That is a useful way to mark Celebrate Bisexuality Day: give people room to be themselves, then get back to the food and conversation.
Celebrate Bisexuality Day
Fly a bisexual flag, join a parade or event, help educate others, be yourself and most importantly be supportive of any bi people in your life.
