Join me on the field for a day of olive picking. An annual event that takes place from mid October until mid November. The olives are harvested manually, mostly with family members and friends, and the olive oil is for home use, sold at the local market and what remains is exported. We went out with some friends to help Daoud on the land of his grandfather. You can hear the typical sounds of the olive harvest, the olives dropping on the tarps, the buckets being emptied in the bags, the pruning, the lunch and the olive press. And of course, as usual, at the end of the episode, you can learn some Arabic words from my children. This time of course related to the olive harvest!Connect to Stories from Palestine on social media, follow the YouTube channel and sign up for the weekly e-mail.
