Israel Photo Trivia ✡ "A Land of Wheat and Barley"

A Land of wheat, barley, grape, fig and pomegranate; a Land of olive oil and honey DEUTERONOMY (8:8)   אֶרֶץ חִטָּה וּשְׂעֹרָה וְגֶפֶן וּתְאֵנָה וְרִמּוֹן אֶרֶץ זֵית שֶׁמֶן וּדְבָשׁ דברים ח:ח e-retz khi-ta u-s'-o-ra v'-ge-fen u-t'-ay-na v'-ri-mon e-retz zayt she-men u-d'-vash

Today's Israel Inspiration Barley looks similar to wheat but is smaller and surrounded by long ‘hair-like’ strands, from which it received its name ‘Se’ora’ which is very similar to the Hebrew word for hair, ‘Se-ar’. In biblical times, the barley harvest would be brought to the Temple in Jerusalem in a joyous ceremony that showed the importance of dedicating a portion of our crops to our Creator before we eat from them ourselves.
