The olive harvest in Israel is a special time. Follow the tiny spring flowers blossom into green fruit, then ripen into shiny black olives. Watch as the olives are gathered, sorted, and pressed into oil. Then celebrate Hanukkah with an Israeli family as they use the oil to light their Hanukkah menorah. Come and enjoy the harvest of light.
Peace be upon all of us :) May you all live long and prosper :)

Dear Brothers and Sisters, dear Friends!
In case you didn't know, millions of people are getting ready to celebrate a holiday on Dec. 25. It is called Christmas, but is also called Hanukkah for many... The very same day.
Call it a Judeo-Christian harmonic convergence. The eight-day celebration of Hanukkah begins just before 25 December, Christmas time.
It's a coincidence that could make the holidays a bit more hectic for interfaith couples, but which also ensures that both Christian and Jewish children get to play with their toys while on vacation from school.
Those holiday are coming just after the Muslim Eid feast.
Dearest Englishtips users! May you live long and prosper in peace and understanding.
Each one of us is a distinct entity, a precious stone in the Nature's safe. Let us be brothers and sisters, let us be - leaders in peace :)
On the behalf of the Crew: All the best, stovokor :)
