The Purest of the Promised Land ✡ "Fair With Goodly Fruit" - ISRAEL365

Hashem called thy name a leafy olive-tree, fair with goodly fruit; with the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. Jeremiah 11:16  (The Israel Bible™)   זַיִת רַעֲנָן יְפֵה פְרִי תֹאַר קָרָא יְהוָה שְׁמֵךְ לְקוֹל הֲמוּלָּה גְדֹלָה הִצִּית אֵשׁ עָלֶיהָ וְרָעוּ דָּלִיּוֹתָיו ירמיהו יא:טז ZA-yit ra-a-NAN y’-FAY f’-REE TO-ar ka-RA a-do-NAI sh’-MAYKH l’-KOL ha-mu-LAH g’-do-LAH hi-TZEET aysh a-LE-ha v’-ra-U da-li-yo-TAV

Today's Israel Inspiration The first time the olive appears in the Bible is when Noah checks to see if the flood waters have receded. When the dove returns with an olive branch in its mouth, Noah knows that the water has receded sufficiently and life has begun anew (Genesis 8:11, 21). Pure olive oil was also used for the lighting of the golden lamp in the Temple, as well as to anoint priests and kings as part of their initiation. One lesson we can take from the olive is that just like an olive only yields oil when pressed, so too, when we are pressed between the milestones of life, our best selves emerge. It is often only when forced that we rise to the occasion to meet life’s challenges. Partake in the sweetness of the Holy Land's olive oil.
