What Can We Learn From Olives? ✡ "Verdant Olive Tree, Fair, With Choice Fruit" - Israel365

Hashem named you “Verdant olive tree, Fair, with choice fruit.” But with a great roaring sound He has set it on fire, And its boughs are broken Jeremiah 11:16 (The Israel Bible™) זַיִת רַעֲנָן יְפֵה פְרִי־תֹאַר קָרָא יְהֹוָה שְׁמֵךְ לְקוֹל הֲמוּלָּה גְדֹלָה הִצִּית אֵשׁ עָלֶיהָ וְרָעוּ דָּלִיּוֹתָיו Hear the verse in Hebrew 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 What Can We Learn From Olives? The first time the olive tree is mentioned in the Bible is when Noach (Noah) checks to see is the flood waters have receded. When the dove returns with an olive branch in its mouth, Noach knows that new life has begun. Pure olive oil was also used for the lighting of the golden menorah in the Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple), as well as to anoint priests and kings. One lesson we can take from the olive is just like an olive yields oil only when pressed, so too, as human beings, when we are pressed between the millstones of life, our best selves emerge. Often, we rise to the occasion to meet life's tests only when challenged. Be your best self

God's Eternal Evergreens ✡ “Verdant Olive Tree, Fair, With Choice Fruit" - Israel365

Hashem named you “Verdant olive tree, Fair, with choice fruit.” But with a great roaring sound He has set it on fire, And its boughs 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:טו 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 As we enter winter season in Israel we think of the olive tree. Olive trees can live for up to 2,000 years and do not shed their leaves, they are God’s eternal evergreens. God called the people of Israel His olive tree: “Hashem named you verdant olive tree, fair, with choice fruit” (Jeremiah 11:16). And He used the olive tree as a symbol of peace when in Genesis 8:11, the dove sent out from the ark by Noah returned with an olive branch. When we plant olive trees in the Land of Israel, we play a part in ushering in the messianic era. Be a part of the restoration of Israel.
