The Middle Eastern Ensemble “Bereket” is a group comprised of UT students, faculty, staff and community members. “Bereket” is a word with ties to Turkish, Arabic and Persian languages that translates as “abundance,” “fruitfulness,” and “divine gift.” About half of the Ensemble's members are from the Middle East, and all are interested in learning about the culture, history, religions and languages from these areas.
