JERUSALEM | On November 2, 14 Seeds met in Jerusalem for the annual harvest. The Israeli and Palestinian Seeds gathered olives at the Augusta Victoria Hospital on the Mount of Olives. The olives will be pressed into oil and sold to benefit the hospital’s refugee patients from the West Bank.
“The olive harvest was special for me,” said Adaya, an Israeli participant. “There truly was an atmosphere of peace about the event.”
A speaker from the Israeli peace organization Rabbis for Human Rights addressed the group about his cross-conflict work.
“He left everyone at the harvest with a broadened perspective on stigmas in the region and a desire to do better, be better,” said Adaya.
