Photo Friday in the olive fields – Amazing!

Olives and Israel have gone hand in hand since biblical times!

The olive branch as the symbol of peace, olive oil burning menorahs, and tzedakah (charity) boxes and yads (torah pointers) made from the wood of the olive tree demonstrate just a few of the many uses for olives in Jewish faith and culture.

“I am like a green olive tree in the House of God; I trust in the love of God for ever and ever” (Psalms 52:10).

Rabbi's Commentary
Faith and Democracy in Israel

Israel is a democratic state and it is a Jewish state. This duality can lead to conflict – as we have seen in recent weeks – but it is one of Israel's unique strengths and a source of pride.
