Lessons from the Olive Tree for Families, Jewish Unity, and the Social Security System

A virtual event presentation by Dr. Jon Greenberg. About The Event: This program will explore the symbolic and halachic significance of the olive tree. The questions we’ll examine include: Neglected agricultural and political reasons that the olive oil Chanukiyah displaced an earlier symbol of Chanukah, Why the 15th of Av became a day for matchmaking, How the social and technological history of olive use mediates a five-hundred-year-old debate about how to read the Talmud, and The beautiful lesson about family relationships that the Psalms draw from the biology of the olive tree. *Source Sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A...
