Lessons from the Olive Tree for Families, Jewish Unity, and the Social Security System
Hosted By: Valley Beit Midrash
Valley Beit Midrash presents a program exploring the symbolic and halachic significance of the olive tree. The session will address why the olive-oil chanukiyah replaced an earlier Chanukah symbol, how the 15th of Av became associated with matchmaking, and what the social and technological history of olive use reveals about a centuries-old debate on reading the Talmud. It will conclude with a look at the lesson about family relationships that the Psalms draw from the biology of the olive tree.
