The site for the new Hebron quarter was purchased by Chabad in 1909 – Lechaim

The site for the new Hebron quarter was acquired by Chabad in 1909

The Israeli cabinet this week approved the creation of a new neighborhood for the Jewish residents of Hebron. This decision gives Israelis living in caravans permission—for the first time after sixteen years—to build new homes in Hebron.
Lubavitch.com confirmed that the 99,000 square foot site of the new neighborhood was part of a piece of land purchased by Chabad in 1909. The rich history of Chabad in the ancient city dates back to 1823, when the first families of Chabad adherents were sent by Rabbi Dov Ber, the second Rebbe of Chabad, to live in the city of the patriarchs. Over time, Chabad acquired more land in Hebron, built synagogues and educational institutions, and supported local families with donations sent from Chabad communities in Russia.
In January 1909, the fifth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Sholom DovBer Schneersohn (known as Rebbe Rashab), purchased the mansion and its surrounding courtyard, Beit Romano, located in the heart of Hebron’s Jewish community. The manor was built by the Romano family, Jewish immigrants from Kushta, in the Ottoman Empire, and in 1912 became the home of the Chabad yeshiva “Toras Emes”. At the end of 1909, the site was expanded through the purchase of an adjacent site. Despite the fact that the local community was poor, and the community in Russia under the Rebbe Rashab was not much richer, they raised the required amount for the purchase of real estate.
The new area will be located in the courtyard behind Beit Romano, which was part of the original purchase. The land deed, written in Arabic, registers ownership of the name of the Rebbe Rashab and his son, the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak. Under Ottoman law, foreign nationals were prohibited from owning property in Palestine, but the Rebbe ensured that the property was eventually recognized in 1913 in Schneerson’s name.
Rabbi Danny Cohen, Chabad spokesman in Hebron, said: “Although the city has gone through turbulent times and many hands, this land has been held by Jews without interruption since 1909 years.
The Yeshiva in Beit Romano operated in Hebron until 1914, when the Ottoman Empire, after declaring war on Russia, seized property and expelled Russian students and teachers, turning the building into a police station and courthouse. After World War I, the British Mandate took control of the police station at Beit Romano and the rest of Hebron. In 1929, the British police stood idle while the local Arabs massacred the city’s Jewish residents. The Chabad community of Hebron was later expelled by the British along with the rest of the Jews of the city, and most of them moved to Jerusalem, where the yeshiva began to function again and continues to this day.
Although Hebron was then rid of its Jewish inhabitants and their property sold to the Arabs, Beit Romano was never sold. Many who feared the end of Jewish life in Hebron appealed to Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak to sell the land and return their investment, but the Rebbe insisted on keeping it.
The site remained empty until local Arabs settled there and in most other Jewish properties. In 1948, the Jordanians took control of the area, allowing an Arab school for girls to open in the building and establishing a central bus station on its territory. Later. after the liberation of Hebron during the Six Day War, the bus station was moved. After at 19In 1980, a yeshiva student was killed in a terrorist attack, and the Israeli government returned the building and its surrounding land to Jewish hands. The local yeshiva, Shavei Hebron, moved into the building, and an Israeli army base was built on the site.
During renovations in Beit Romano in the late 1990s, another floor was discovered under the building and two more floors were added, making the building five stories high. According to the Israeli government, the IDF base currently located on the site will be downsized to accommodate 31 houses, two kindergartens, a day care center and a public park in the Hezekiah quarter of Hebron.
“One hundred and ten years since Chabad acquired this property, it’s good to see it being used again for what it was originally intended to do,” said Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, chairman of the Chabad Lubavitch headquarters.
In an interview with Lubavitch.com, Hebron Jewish Community CEO Uri Karzen outlined the details of the planned construction. “We are grateful to the Rebbe Rashab for having the foresight to purchase the property so that his Jewish origin remains undisputed to this day.”
History: 1909 – Beit Roman property acquired by the fifth Chabad Rebbe; 1912 – the Chabad yeshiva “Toras Emes” was founded in Beit Romano; 1913 – The right to property is recognized for the fifth and sixth Rebbe; 1914 – The Turkish government expelled Russian-born students and teachers from Israel and the yeshiva is closed; 1917 – The British turn the building into a government headquarters and police station; 1929 – massacre in Hebron and expulsion of the community to Jerusalem.
1948 Jordan takes control of Hebron; Beit Romano is being converted into a girls’ school and a bus station has been built on its grounds; 1980 – real estate returned to the Jewish community; yeshiva “Shavei Hebron moves into the building; The IDF and caravans occupy the courtyard; 1996-2000 – The building has been renovated.
2018 – The Israeli cabinet approved the construction of a new quarter in the courtyard of Beit Romano.

The Nazi Correspondent The New York Times
Throughout the 1930s, Enderis managed to manipulate the news for The Times by hushing up the persecution of Jews and emphasizing Germany’s peaceful goals. He fawned over Nazi officials, wrote articles that conveyed only the Nazi point of view, reprimanded The Times correspondents if they seemed to go too far in their criticism, and dissected the news to show off the genocidal regime intent on establish a “thousand-year Reich”.

The story they told themselves
Non-Jews speak of the Holocaust as “what happened in those times”, while Jews, in whatever language they speak, speak of “what happened there”. “Those times” have passed, what was happening has stopped. But what about the word “there”? “The word “there” hints that somewhere out there, somewhere far away, what happened is still happening.”

“The people who did this work are long gone”: photographs by Boris Ramses from an expedition to Xinjiang
Boris Ramses, despite the danger of arrest, travels to Moscow in the summer of 1937 to receive funds to continue work in China.
However, since he is under suspicion, not one of the high-ranking employees of the People’s Commissariat of Heavy Industry dared to meet him. The expedition was defeated, and soon curtailed its work, although oil and gold were found. Boris Ramses himself miraculously escaped arrest, despite the fact that a number of his closest colleagues wrote a denunciation against him to the NKVD.

Chaucer and radiocarbon dating
“O young Hugh of Lincoln, tormented by the accursed Jews”? Kashkin and Rumer did not have this! Of course, it wasn’t: the whole of The Prioresses Tale (“Abbess’s Tale”) was not printed in the USSR precisely because of its medieval anti-Semitism.
After all, it describes a real blood libel – one of many in England of the XII-XIII centuries. So from Chaucer I learned about this terrible story. And a few weeks ago, a sensational discovery by scientists became public knowledge…

Holy Land. Part 1. Hebron. Mamvrian oak | Motherhood
These notes are memories of the pilgrimage our family made during the 2009 Holy Week of Great Lent. In March 2016, we made another pilgrimage, which partially complemented the impressions of the first trip.
After much thought about how to approach this responsible task, it was decided to build the report chronologically, in accordance with the events that the Old Testament and the Gospel narrate, and not in the order in which we visited the holy places.
The pilgrimage group moves in accordance with the geographical location of the shrines, but for a more logical construction of the story, it would be more correct to choose a different order. We will accompany the story with detailed quotations from the Gospel so that the reader, regardless of the level of knowledge of the sacred texts, can make a more complete impression. However, in general, the story will be in the nature of travel notes and personal impressions, without pretending to be deep historical and factual data, which, if necessary, can be gleaned from more competent sources.
It was decided to add photos and notes from 2016 to previously published materials, thereby supplementing them. Some places (for example, Jericho) we first visited in 2016.
Others, such as Nazareth and Mount Carmel, we did not visit again, so the story about them was not supplemented. In addition, photos taken during a small independent trip to this holy city, which we undertook in 2014, will be added to the story about Jerusalem. At that time, we did not leave Jerusalem, where we spent five days, carefully studying it from different angles. However, a whole year would probably not be enough to explore Jerusalem.
So, we start our story from the most ancient place we visited – Hebron.
Hebron is located south of Jerusalem and Bethlehem
Hebron is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on the planet. Josephus, describing the capture of Idumea by Shimon Bar Giora in 69 AD. e., indicates that Hebron is the most ancient city of Eretz-Israel (“… even older than Memphis in Egypt, for the number of its years is determined in 2300”).
The Bible repeatedly indicates that Hebron was formerly called Kiryat Arba and Mamre.
For the first time, Mamre is mentioned at the very beginning of the Bible (Gen. 13:18) as the place where Abraham settled and where he made an altar to God. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their wives Sarah, Rebecca and Leah are buried in the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron.
Currently, Hebron is located on the territory of the Palestinian Autonomy and is inhabited exclusively by Muslim Arabs. It is a site of terrorist activity, so visiting Hebron by pilgrims is not always possible and depends on the current situation.
The icon of the Holy Trinity traditionally depicts a tree, in the shade of which the forefather Abraham arranged a meal for the Lord, who appeared to him in the form of the Three Wayfarers. Incredibly, this tree has survived to this day, and even more remarkable that it is located on a site belonging to the Russian Spiritual Mission.
The temple was consecrated in 1925 in honor of the Holy Forefathers, with aisles in the name of the Holy Trinity and St.
Nicholas; a two-story house for pilgrims was also erected on the site.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the oak trunk had a circumference of seven meters, then it was divided into three massive branches, as if symbolizing the Holy Trinity. Not far from the oak grows two more oaks, which are about 200 years old. The pilgrims dubbed them the Oak of Abraham and the Oak of Sarah. And the Mamre oak itself at the beginning of the 20th century began to slowly dry out. The process was aggravated by pilgrims who tried to pinch off and carry away a particle of the shrine. The last green leaf seen on an oak at 1995 year.
There is a belief that the end of the world will not come as long as the oak of Mamre is alive.
Several years ago, the Lord sent a miracle: a small sprout sprouted from the root of a withered giant. Its height is now about 20 cm. To the great joy of believers, the trunk of this sprout also diverges into three separate trunks, as if representing an ongoing testimony to the Holy Trinity.

Today only 3 Orthodox people live in Hebron: a priest and two nuns. The gate is unlocked by a Muslim watchman in the 11th generation. He invites those who wish to purchase a postcard from the 60s of the last century, on which he shows himself as a boy against the backdrop of the Mamre oak.

in the remote part of the Russian site in the head, behind the temple, there is an ancient tomb. This is what the burial caves of the Jews looked like.
This was the tomb of Lazarus, the entrance to which was subsequently significantly expanded. The coffin of the Lord Jesus Christ looked approximately the same, which was later turned into a chapel – Kuvuklia (part of the original rock can be seen behind the opening icon of the Mother of God, hanging on the left above the Sepulcher of the Savior).
And in Hebron you can go down into the burial cave and even try yourself on the burial bed. The stone that closed the entrance lies nearby. The shape allows you to tightly grind it to the entrance hole.
Archimandrite Cyprian (Kern) narrates in detail about the history of the acquisition of a plot in Hebron:
the patriarch, the father of the faithful, received the Three Mysterious Wanderers (Gen. XIII, 18; XVIII, 1-5). Since ancient times, the legends of the local population have preserved the belief that the tract now belonging to the Russians, the so-called “Khirbet-en-zibta” half an hour’s walk from Hebron, is the biblical eminent oak forest.
This legend was passed down from generation to generation, and many ancient witnesses, historians and pilgrims speak of Abraham’s Oak. A huge oak, a special Palestinian breed, “Quercus ilex pseudococcifera” with three widely overgrown branches, distinguished by its size among vineyards and olive trees, has long been an object of religious veneration of the local population, just like Abraham’s oak.
It should be noted that the Arab population of Hebron has always been considered the most fanatical of all the Muslim tribes of Palestine. The intransigence of the Hebron sheikhs was well known. Christians penetrate there very late and to this day in small numbers. Our Fr. Antonin.
A curious local tradition of Muslim Arabs is transmitted, foreshadowing grave disasters, almost the death of Islam, as soon as the bells sound in Hebron, the burial place (in Machpel) of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 80 years ago, this would have been truly unthinkable. However, it should be pointed out that in 19On the year 25, Patriarch Damian, concelebrated by the Russian Archbishop Anastassy and the Greek Bishop of Elevferopol Anastassy, consecrated a rich three-altar Russian church near Oak, and since then the bell ringing has unpleasantly reminded the Hebron sheikhs of the ancient Muslim tradition.
The Hebron Arabs also distinguished themselves with fanatical intransigence during the troubled days of the Jewish-Arab unrest in August 1929, recalling it with exceptionally cruel speeches. But back to the history of our acquisition of this famous place.
Antoninus decided to try to acquire the Oak. No matter how risky and unlikely such an idea might seem, Fr. Archimandrite had his own reasons for this. This decision was also supported by the Mission’s dragoman Ya. E. Halebi. The site itself with the biblical tree, relatively small, belonged for more than 70 years to a certain Ibrahim Shalludi, who inherited it from his father Osman. Ibrahim, in addition to purely religious considerations, valued his property also as a rather profitable source of income and sold to visiting tourists – Germans and Jews (whom the Arabs always disliked very much) – branches, twigs and leaves from the sacred tree for carpentry crafts.
Based on carefully and carefully collected information, it was likely that Ibrahim would not mind selling even the shrine itself.
The difficulty was only in the formalities, how to legalize the sale. Of course, it was impossible to even think about acting openly and legally to buy Oak in a Russian name. It was here that Yakov Yegorovich rendered an invaluable service. Equipped with money, relevant documents and everything necessary for his unexpected and new role, in the winter of 1868 he appeared in Hebron disguised as a merchant from Aleppo.
There was that particular Palestine winter storm with rain and wind, especially strong that year. YE, playing his part carefully, allegedly buying goods, moving among the merchants of Hebron, stayed in Hebron for quite a long time. Things moved forward very slowly, but there was still hope for Shalludi’s compliance. Once, when the bad weather stopped and several clear, warm days arrived, unexpectedly pleasing to the eye in the midst of the Palestinian rainy winter, Yakov Yegorovich decided to spend the night under the most sacred tree. As soon as he settled down for the night and wrapped himself up to sleep, a shot suddenly rang out, and a bullet whistled over his head from some Arab fanatic who had hidden nearby, apparently having some reason to suspect the mysterious Aleppo merchant.
The attempt, thank God, failed, but clearly showed the danger to which the brave traveler was exposed, and justified the well-known fanaticism of the Hebronians. Nevertheless, finally, after lengthy and tedious negotiations, which the Arabs are such masters of dragging out, combinations of precautions, countless baksheesh, also so necessary in that environment, Shalludi sold the plot of land with Oak to Yakov Yegorovich, for which a legal ownership deed (“kushan “) in his name, Yakub Halebi.
I heard from eyewitnesses about his meeting with Fr. Antoninus in Jerusalem. Fr. Archimandrite was waiting for Halebi to arrive at the entrance to the hall on the stairs in the Mission building. As soon as Yakov Yegorovich saw the figure of Fr. Antonina, he joyfully ran up the stairs, waving his kushan and shouting: “Oak is Russian, oak is Russian!” Father Antonin opened his arms wide to him and, joyfully embracing him, kissed him.
On this worries about. archimandrite about the Mamvri site did not stop.
After this deal, we managed to buy several more adjacent properties adjacent to the Oak and, thus, round off our estate there. But the fanaticism of the sheikhs still did not put up with the invasion of the infidels into the sacred confines of Mamre. Especially many troubles had to be experienced when buying (on a completely legal basis, by the way) one of the neighboring properties from a very respected among the people, Sheikh Saleh Mzhaged. Both the local population and the Turkish administration protested. The pasha-governor of Jerusalem, the Hebron kaymaqam, the mufti, the qadi and the entire Hebron Majlis also intervened in the matter. The mufti was especially intolerant, who, as Fr. Antonin to Consul Kozhevnikov, “does not find it difficult to publicly say to the very venerable and considered by the people for the saint Sheikh Saleh Mzhaged that he is worth it to take off his turban, hang it around his neck and lead him in disgrace through the city for having sold his land for Christians.
.. But be that as it may, as a result of this energetic, careful and skillful activity, Fr. Archimandrite Mission owns a plot near the Oak of Mamvri with a total area of 72,354.74 square meters. meters. Already on May 22, 1871, under the shadow of the Oak, the first Divine Liturgy was served, and according to the custom then established by the clergy of the Mission, and now on the third day of Pentecost, the liturgy is celebrated on a portable throne under a tree that was the ancestor of all our Trinity birches and, according to legend, saw the mysterious Trinity of heavenly Wayfarers. On the very day of Pentecost, the liturgy is served in Jerusalem in the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, on the second day in the aisle of the Holy Spirit of the Hebron new temple, and on the third already under the very Oak.
Over time, an iron canopy was built over the witness to the glory of Patriarch Abraham, and the very base of the trunk was surrounded by a special stone foundation, on which the service is performed.
It must be said that the past millennia did not spare the venerable old man and significantly affected his appearance: the tree noticeably rots, undergoes a wormhole and dries badly, which, according to Fr. Antonina, began to intensify especially since the transfer of the tree into our hands. One of its withered and storm-broken branches is kept in the Mission in the form of sawn boards on which icons of St. Trinity to bless the pilgrims.
Today, this vast area boasts a beautiful pilgrimage shelter, a watchtower, two rainwater cisterns – all these are buildings of Fr. Antonin, not to mention the majestic new temple, begun by construction in 1907 under the head of the Mission, Archimandrite Leonid (Sentsov) and consecrated, as mentioned above, in 1925.
Archimandrite Lionid wanted to consecrate the church in honor of the Holy Trinity, but since the Trinity Cathedral was already at the Russian Mission in Jerusalem, Patriarch Damian of Jerusalem decided to consecrate the central chapel of the church in Hebron in honor of the Holy Forefathers, the south – in honor of the Holy Trinity.
and the north – in honor of St. Nicholas. So the Russian Church had almost the only temple in honor of the Forefathers.
The huge temple was built in Hebron. To many, such a scale seemed unjustified: there was no local flock here (and no), there was no monastery either, and few of the pilgrims reached Hebron. But Father Leonid believed that in due time this temple would be filled with pilgrims.

Cherries and wine of the Hebron Highlands: “Sde Kalev” farm: vnu4ka — LiveJournal
In the last post, I told about the wonderful Friday program organized by the association “Meeting Place”. The first point of the program of our excursion “Cherry in Judea” was the farm “Sde Kalev” (in Hebrew: “Field of Kalev”).
The farm is located in the south of the Hebron Highlands, these places have a rich history, and our guide Yitzhak Fishelevich begins to tell us about these places, having barely left Jerusalem towards Hebron.
The “oppressed national minority” lives on the hill…
These fertile lands are part of the allotment of the tribe of Judah (remember the twelve sons of Jacob, whom he blessed, and each of the sons received part of the territory of the Land of Israel as an allotment) . About Judah and his lands it is said in the Torah, in the book of Bereishit, in the chapter “Vaehi”: “He ties his donkey to the vine, to the branch – the son of his donkey; he washes his garment in wine and his vestment in the blood of the grape. He is red-eyed from wine and white teeth from milk” . That is, grapes grow beautifully on this land, there are so many of them that a donkey can be tied to each vine. And wine – pour, linen in wine can be washed!
Indeed, for many centuries people have been cultivating vineyards on these lands, here is the best terroir for growing grapes, with the Mediterranean soil type Terra Rosa. These places are located at an altitude of about 1000 m above sea level, in winter it is cold and snowy, in summer it is dry and hot.
Sde Kalev farm is located two kilometers from Kiryat Arba, and very close to the Arab village of Bani Naim. The farm belongs to the Livni family. Its head, Menachem Livni, is a man with a unique biography. He was born at 1950, studied at the Technion. In the Israel Defense Forces, he was a demolition worker, and in the early eighties he became the head of an underground Jewish organization. Just a novel “Exodus” – and nothing more! (photo from the winery’s website)
Israel was shaken by terrorist attacks – and suddenly explosions began to occur here and there among the Arabs. For example, one fine day the cars of the mayors of three Arab cities were blown up… It became clear to everyone that there is a certain organization that responds with terror to terror. Intelligence has been looking for this organization for several years. It turned out absurd: the bombs explode – and who puts them is unknown. Some noble demolition man knows his stuff! And after these “incomprehensible” explosions, terrorist attacks subsided for a long time, because our “cousins” do not understand another language.
..
A few years later, Livni found Shabak and Menachem was sentenced to life imprisonment. And five years later, he was released under an amnesty and headed a technological greenhouse in Kiryat Arba.
The land for vineyards and cherries was bought long ago, already in 1936, and was immediately tabooed as “Jewish land”. In 1981, Menachem Livni planted vineyards and orchards on it: 22 dunams for grapes and 8 dunams for cherries. Only Jews work on the farm, there are no Arabs or Thais.
But the Arab neighbors from the village of Bani Naim cannot calmly watch Menachem work. Once, a bomb was planted in his cherry orchard: Menachem discovered it by ringing a cell phone that did not belong to him or any of the workers. Urgently calling security, they defused the explosives. But on another occasion, it was not possible to defuse the bomb in time, and three employees of Sde Kalev were seriously injured. Time passed, and ingenious village citizens joined the water pipe, laid in the gardens of Livni.
The owner found out about this only when he began to receive astronomical water bills …
At first, Livni sold his grapes to the Tishbi winery, which is located in Zikhron Yaakov. “Good wine starts from the roots,” says Menachem. When, because of his grapes, a dispute began between the wineries Carmel, Tishby and Recanati – who will leave the grapes? – Menachem realized that his products were of a high level. So why not try making your own wine?
At first, Livni used the equipment of one of the wineries in Kiryat Arba, but over the years he organized his own business: the winery “Livni Winery” – “Livni Winery”.
Now his winery produces about 10,000 bottles of wine per year. Wine varieties ripen in the vineyard: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Shiraz. Grapes grow next to cherry trees, and Menachem claims that this neighborhood is good for the grapes: it acquires an amazing berry aroma.
Walking through the vineyard. The grapes have just set, the berries are very tiny
What kind of wine Menachem Livni offers, I will show in the continuation of the story, and now we are going to the cherry orchard – where Yitzhak Fishelevich points us:
Cherry trees are wrapped in a special mesh to prevent birds from pecking at the berries.
Two varieties were ready for our arrival, and we collected them.
Near the entrance to the garden – a small shed, where everything is ready to receive guests.
And here is the owner himself! He invites us to take plastic boxes in which we will pick berries, and tells in detail how to pick cherries.
Special attention is devoted to the issue of the seventh year: now is the year of Shemitah, when Israel does not do agricultural work, and do not receive money for what ripens in the fields. Harvest of Livni during Shemitah is Otzar Beit Din
The fruits of the seventh year (Shemitah) are sacred, they must not be thrown away, treated carelessly. Menahem tells everything in detail: don’t throw berries on the ground, don’t pick too much, don’t pick unripe ones, because it’s not tasty, if you want to throw it away, you can’t put it in shmita…
Together with Menachem in the garden we are met by his children: a son and a daughter.
In fact, he has either eight or ten children, but most have already started their own families. Before arriving at the garden, Yitzhak Fishelevich told us that Menachem’s wife, Tzipora Livni, died two weeks ago after a long illness, and now visits to him are especially important to support him in a difficult period. If Yitzhak had not told us this, we would not have thought in life that this man buried his wife for two weeks, and his children – their mother. They greeted us so cordially, talked to us, helped to pick berries…
I would like to show here a wonderful photograph of Tzipi Livni (I found it on the net) – “not the Tzipi Livni that you all thought about,” as Yitzhak Fishelevich told us, but the real Tzipora Livni, who, together with Menachem Livni, was among the first inhabitants, settlement pioneers. She fought for the right of Jews to pray at Mearat HaMachpelah in Hebron, and did a lot for the inhabitants of these places.
Here is a young Tzipi, who was doing alternative service (Sherut Leumi), arrived in Kiryat Arba, where there are no streets, houses and greenery yet – but all this will be created by the hands of people like Tzipi and Menachem.
Tzipi stood shoulder to shoulder next to her husband in all the affairs of “Sde Kalev”, and the first years when the garden was raised fell on a difficult time: Menachem was in prison. And these are just the years when the owners of the garden work hard, but still do not receive any profit: after all, it is forbidden to use the fruits of the first three years of any tree, and in the fourth year, not everything is just with fruits. Well, in general – in any garden, at first you have to work hard for a long time, until it starts to give some kind of profit …
Tzipora Livni was 63 years old, but she lived a long life. Blessed be her memory.

After Menachem’s instruction, we split into two groups and go to the cherry rows
how many berries!
I immediately want to start plucking everything and trying indiscriminately.
But take a closer look and take a walk: what seems great at first pales in front of really ripe berries
just like in the picture:
Sweet cherries are very tasty, put three berries in your mouth, a couple in a box.
We eat directly from the branches: all the berries are not sprayed with anything. The only thing is that they can be covered with a slight coating of dust, but this is the dust of the Land of Israel, as Menachem Livni said – it is only useful :))
Very beautiful, red cherries grow opposite – but this is a different variety, it has not yet matured:
but the sweetest cherry – maroon – grows high on trees in other rows. Especially in order to get to it, those who wished were given stepladders. But Leah’s eyes burned so much that Menachem’s daughter quietly told her: while no one sees, climb up! Here is happiness!
Comfortably settled down at the fork and eating cherries!
We collected cherries for about an hour, which flew by like five minutes. And now Leia comes out of the garden with a catch:
After picking cherries, we went to the shed, where everything was prepared for wine tasting:
Leah and I decided to choose a bottle of wine for our dad, and began to try different varieties.
Livni Winery offers the following wines: Rosé 2014 vintage
Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 vintage
Flute is a blend of Cabernet (vintage 2) and noir3 of the same year )
we liked the special wine the most, it has a very interesting and unusual aroma. This is a 2012 Pinot Noir:
