The author grew up in the moshav of Nir Yisrael, near Ashkelon, to a family with three children. Their father, described as a diligent, old-generation worker, established an olive grove alongside his work in artificial insemination for cows. This grove produced award-winning olive oil, which continues to be a legacy for the family even after his passing.
Annually, during the olive harvest season, the author's siblings and grandchildren gather to personally harvest the olives for oil production. While acknowledging this endeavor is not highly economical, the family undertakes it from the heart, in remembrance of their father.
