The Olive Harvest is on its way

Open the Door to Refugees: Parashat “Vayehi”
A fickle struggle to finish the olive harvest: Due to our uncompromising legal struggle, the Palestinian farmers of El Jenia and Quadum received a permit to finish their olive harvest, but the permit was for a day on which rain was expected and, as a result, was not carried out.
