How are olives picked and cured? What's the difference between the green and the black? Learn all that and more straight from Nazareth, Israel. Season 1, Episode 26
Thank you Sergio & Rhonda . Lived in Israel for a year but never had the opportunity to experience the harvest and pickling of Olives . Totally fulfilling to better understand the Bible with the visuals you guys provide . God Bless you abundantly !
This was lovely....watching your family all doing the olives and your moms olive recipes. I loved your dads thoughts about the olive tree and the fruit of it .What a blessing that you are all believers and followers of Jesus.Just love you all! God Bless and protect you all. :)
Heaven provides so many earthly delights. I am grateful for Rhoda’s father’s olive tree observation. There are so many little things that we take for granted.
One of my favorite videos by Sergio and Rhoda ! Love it . Mom's simplicity is admirable . Very nice pickling demo ! The harvesting of olives at your yard is a whole another level of experiencing Israel on a personal level . Thank you and God Bless !
This was great!! Papa is a very brave man to climb the tree and do his work. Thank you for sharing your lives with me one of your Subscribers. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗!!
On this Resurrection Sunday 2020, while staying home alone due to the pandemic, I’m spending time with the lovely family of Rhoda and Sergio. What a blessing you are and continue to be, especially now! Thank you and may Yeshua continue to bless your family!
This was so beautiful, our dearest siblings. Thank you. I had an olive grove once - absolutely delicious olive oil - thank you, Jesus, for olive oil! I know the hard work keeping them healthy and fruitful, ouch those sharp pokes! So glad your father Suhail was safe - loved watching him sit in the tree drinking and thanking God. Your mother Ruthie, brother George and soon-to-be sis-in-law Erika - precious..... hugs to all of you, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN, SERGIO! (baby sister too!) and God bless you all and keep you all safe - shalom, love! - your sister in calif
Crushing the skin of the olive allows the bitterness to leave it more quickly, thereby enabling the olive to become properly seasoned and then usable by the master. Fascinating! Thank you!
In God's willing I want to go in Israel and be with you Sis.Rhoda,I've learned a lot in all your vlogs especially the place where Jesus had been,God bless you and your whole family.
I barely stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago, and am today subscribing. Blessings to you, your loved ones, and even so your enemies. May the truth of the Gospel continue to reign from your trumpets, your voices, and the triumphant proclamation in YeShua HaMashiac, Christ LORD Jesus, of the Spirit, and from the Father, all in all God the Most High!
This is one of your best ever. Fantastic. Suheil was stellar as always, and your mom's "I didn't choose the bug life" t-shirt was phenomenal! Plus now I actually know how to prep olives, sort of. AWESOME.
Great video--love your dad and family--would like a tour of the house to see how the Israelis live --remembering the days our LORD JESUS who was here--looks so homely/lovely--
I found your channel a week ago and i just finished them today there wasnt one i did not enjoy and also i found superior church thru you so God has greatly blessed me this week! Your videos are the best done videos on TH-cam and i subscribe to many channels i dont have a church youll never know how much joy youve brought me! My hope is your doing more videos?
Two things... First, I AM FIRST TO POST! Whoop! Second. What a great video. This was wonderful. Hideko and I have learned so much, and we feel like we are right there with you guys, family and all. It was wonderful.
Happy Birthday Sergio. I am happy you are here and that you are another Brother I look forward to meeting when we are home. And to Rhoda, thank you for telling me about the color of the olives. I always assumed from different trees. I love to see your family and to hear your Father honor Jesus. You are all a wonderful blessing to so many and I thank The Holy One of Heaven for you all.
We use to spend all day picking olives and soak them in two five gallon clay pots, then rinse 3 days each day with fresh water, then added all sorts of spices and vacuum pack via heating to certain temp. Soo good
I married a Saad in Australia. His family are from Douma Lebanon. I had 4 children but my husband left as he didn't want to commit to being a Christian which was his free choice. Love the food I learnt to make and still make. 🍇🍋
That was wonderful!! Pastor, thank you for your reflections on the olive tree itself. Rhoda, your mom always makes the food prep look easy! Love & blessings to your entire family.
What a lovely family and they all come together to prune the olive tree and gather olives! I learned so much (and so did Sergio ha ha). I never knew the difference between the green and the black olives now I do and interesting the preparation it takes and you cannot eat from the tree as Sergio found out! I can only imagine the bitterness Sergio!! Love you guys! Thank you for inviting us into your family home!
Good job Ruthie!!! Rhoda, it is So much fun watching. I was there the day Suhail slipped on the ladder---in fact, he just said he had done this forever with the ladder not straight. We all held our breath as he picked and this slipped. What a day. Such a fun adventure. The oil was wonderful.
Happy Birthday, Sergio! Your birthday will be easy to remember since it's just 10 days after my own :) I hope you and Rhoda will do something extra special to celebrate. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos each week. Thank you so much for all you both do to minister to all of us. We love you.
Yom Huledet (Happy Birthday) Sergio ! I will never forget the birthday video you guys made for Charlie. It was probably the funniest video I have ever seen in my life! God bless you both xo Keep up the great work!
I am searching ways of cultuvating olive trees in my yard. I live in Brazil and the best adapted species was the israeli one, but we have to fertalize it the whole year. Because of the great amount of Sun light, they produced very much and dry, if not fertalized. My name os Tatiana de Oliveira, something like Tatiana of the Olive Tree. God bless you for answering tô His call and work to spread His kingdom among the world. Have nice holidays.
I love olives black my favorite and green ones.we use green ones in our rice sometimes it brings out a great flavor oh by the way .Im American Puerto Rican born in USA born from Puerto Rico and black ones for garnises on salads or just a vegetable choice.thank you so sharing this .Sergio your mother is very pretty.May God bless your hard efforts on making this videos.Great job.
I love olives--mostly green! I think it is because I am of Hebrew descent--the priestly tribe. This was so good to learn about the picking and pickling of the beautiful olive. Olive tree very pretty and the olive flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor olive is impossible to eat! Jewish folk song, no?
In Cyprus, we don't hit or shake the tree... We have special combs with handles - like a mini garden rake and you just pull along the branch and all the olives fall onto the nylon or nets..
Awesome Video Thank you for sharing the things that you both do. God Bless You Both and Your Family's So Neat to see you with the Family Love and Peace to You All
I remember my aunt would pickle olives, she would put them in an earthenware jar full of brine add laurel leaves and red pepper, she would close the jar with vine branches and let the whole thing steep in a cool dark room for a couple of months and after that magic tummy olives.
Dear adorable Rhoda & Sergio & Rhoda's family, hellos, thank you for taking us into your home & show us the olive-process..., nice to listen to their unique accent... (know what, I still wonder why Jesus cursed the fig tree...haven't got a satisfactory explanation as yet...)...നന്ദി nandi = Thank you in Malayalam! Stay Blessed...Amen.
Your videos are giving me hope, at this dark time of my life I am slowly watching them and commenting and asking questions. What town are these videos? All questions are answered, about cutting the tree, and easting the raw Olives 😀 Thankyou
Hi Sergio and Rhoda,HAPPY BIRTHDAY SERGIO...are you getting a week of celabration? Abba cutting back the Olive Tree making room to graft in the wild olive branch.great video always well done and biblical.God Bless
I can't believe you're picking the olives one by one... In Cyprus, we use a special comb with a handle. We simply run it along the branch and all the olives drop into the net or plastic😉
Thank you for inviting us into your parent's home. The personal connection made this one of my favorites.
Thank you Sergio & Rhonda . Lived in Israel for a year but never had the opportunity to experience the harvest and pickling of Olives . Totally fulfilling to better understand the Bible with the visuals you guys provide . God Bless you abundantly !
It's really wonderful isn't it, to have family like this? That are so close. I love Sergio and Rodas videos I learned so much from them.
Rhoda mother is so sweet and I like the idea how she explain how to make olive enjoyable when prep and done right ~ Shalom
This was lovely....watching your family all doing the olives and your moms olive recipes. I loved your dads thoughts about the olive tree and the fruit of it .What a blessing that you are all believers and followers of Jesus.Just love you all! God Bless and protect you all. :)

God provides. God made Heaven.

5:20 - Thank you for sharing. It's so insightful.
I absolutely love your channel. Thank you for this awesome video. Blessings to you and your family.
Extending the olive branch; so wonderful.
I didn't realise they were so bitter straight from the tree.
Thank you Chris! Yes they are extremely bitter!
I lived in Jordan for a couple of years and israel reminds of Jordan to a T; wow i am nostalgic😩, Love this channel, Great work guys👏🏽
I love the son - mother in-law moment.
What a lovely family and they all come together to prune the olive tree and gather olives! I learned so much (and so did Sergio ha ha). I never knew the difference between the green and the black olives now I do and interesting the preparation it takes and you cannot eat from the tree as Sergio found out!

Hi Neal! Thank you so much! Yes, any opportunity to prank Sergio, I'm in! Haha! Have a great week and God bless you!
The cutting tool that you dad is using isnt a machete. :-) Its a tree pruning saw. God bless you sister.
Amazing. I’ve been binge watching all your videos for like 3 days. I love them all so much!!
Good job Ruthie!!! Rhoda, it is So much fun watching. I was there the day Suhail slipped on the ladder---in fact, he just said he had done this forever with the ladder not straight. We all held our breath as he picked and this slipped. What a day. Such a fun adventure. The oil was wonderful.
We still have that ladder Jan!!! Every time I look at it, I think it would serve good for a bonfire!
How AWESOME Rhoda that your parents also know our Savior! I’m looking forward to meeting all of you in Heaven.
I really enjoy your channel ☺. Praise Jesus! He is our King 🤴
That was Soooo cool 😎 to see how to harvest and prep olives. Rhoda’s dad climbing up that tree made my palms sweat. Thank you for sharing.
I was just wondering what to do with the olives from my young tree. This was awesome and I will try it. God bless!
Happy Birthday, Sergio! Your birthday will be easy to remember since it's just 10 days after my own :) I hope you and Rhoda will do something extra special to celebrate. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos each week. Thank you so much for all you both do to minister to all of us. We love you.
Thank you so much Sharon and happy birthday to you too! Have a wonderful week and God bless you! Much love to you
Great videos guys. Your videos have been so helpful in our preparation for our trips to Israel.
Thanks guys I've learned a lot from you all .
When I was a boy I try eating a raw olive just to find out it taste, never try eating raw olives
Apple trees in Vermont are also pruned like that. To keep the branches from growing to close together, and the trees from growing to tall.
Awesome. Much Thanks from Hawai’i nei!
GOD bless you and your families! ♥️
Beautiful and so informative.
Yom Huledet (Happy Birthday) Sergio ! I will never forget the birthday video you guys made for Charlie. It was probably the funniest video I have ever seen in my life! God bless you both xo Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Faith Joy! That was fun filming too

I truly enjoyed watching this video, Rhoda. You have a sweet family. I have enjoyed watching all the videos I have viewed so far.
Her kitchen is so dreamy!
I love olives--mostly green! I think it is because I am of Hebrew descent--the priestly tribe. This was so good to learn about the picking and pickling of the beautiful olive. Olive tree very pretty and the olive flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor olive is impossible to eat! Jewish folk song, no?
I want to live there too.... That's the best life style...
In Cyprus, we don't hit or shake the tree... We have special combs with handles - like a mini garden rake and you just pull along the branch and all the olives fall onto the nylon or nets..
Great video and very interesting! My mom use to cure olives. A lot of work. Happy Birthday to Sergio!
Thank you Kathleen! It is a lot of work indeed!!
God bless Israel God bless the Jewish people , God bless Sergio and Rhoda, God bless all of your family and friends !

Wow that is a lot of olives! A family project, but good for the camera man, lucky fish.
Tyvm , great video , I almost didn't watch, I would have missed out.
Dear adorable Rhoda & Sergio & Rhoda's family, hellos, thank you for taking us into your home & show us the olive-process..., nice to listen to their unique accent... (know what, I still wonder why Jesus cursed the fig tree...haven't got a satisfactory explanation as yet...)...നന്ദി nandi = Thank you in Malayalam! Stay Blessed...Amen.
Cool thank you..
I thought olives had to go through a big process like making pickles, are an thing that is grown to can for later. Loved this ❤️❤️
The Olive Tree Philosopher 3:52 ... PRICELESS !❤️
Amen! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Mashallah. How Awesome!!!
Rhoda's Mom explained it well.
PRAISE THE LORD
Your videos are giving me hope, at this dark time of my life
I am slowly watching them and commenting and asking questions.
What town are these videos?
All questions are answered, about cutting the tree, and easting the raw Olives 😀
Thankyou
Hi Sergio and Rhoda,HAPPY BIRTHDAY SERGIO...are you getting a week of celabration? Abba cutting back the Olive Tree making room to graft in the wild olive branch.great video always well done and biblical.God Bless
Thats a wonderful reminder Daren! Thank you!! God bless you! Sergio should have a 365 days of celebrations for all the things he does!
This is best!
wonderful! thank you. Blessings
Love you guys. Love your series. Hate the music.
That's a lot of hardwork. no wonder olives is a bit pricey.
I can't believe you're picking the olives one by one... In Cyprus, we use a special comb with a handle. We simply run it along the branch and all the olives drop into the net or plastic😉
If I lived where Jesus was born, I would kiss the ground every day I woke up.
Great fun. Pass on climbing the tree!!😁
Amazing!!!
@7:10 Reminds me of my wonderful, Godly Mom-in-Law.
Also if you break some coriander seeds and mix with the olives you will get much more flavour together!
