OLIVE OIL - HISTORICAL AND CULINARY PERSPECTIVES, AND OPENING OF JERUSALEM CLUB
07.12.2021
In the spirit of Chanuka, we inaugurated the “Jerusalem Club” and a new study festival series entitled “The Essence of Things”, in collaboration with the Begin Heritage Center and the Israel Nature Museum of Jerusalem. The topic was Olive Oil – its Jewish symbolism and connection to the Land of Israel, history, agronomy, and health and culinary attributes. Lecturers included Yisrael Galon, an agronomist and horticulturist from the Technion, archeologist Baruch Yuzefovsky, Nature Museum Director Evgeny Reznitsky, author and historian Igor Tribelsky, and guide and Chef Mikhail Burman, who help cap off our evening with an increasingly popular Israeli dessert – ice cream drizzled in olive oil!
I loved the format of this evening – live jazz music and short lectures. It was interesting and dynamic. I also liked that there was time before the lectures where I could chat with friends in a pleasant atmosphere of live music and drinks – very classy! And of course the venue itself was beautiful. Thank you for an enjoyable and educational experience.
