Thank you for inviting us into your parent's home. The personal connection made this one of my favorites.

[@JayJay-yz5gb]

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 !

[@coreygrua3271]

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.

[@Nick-wn1xw]

God provides. God made Heaven.

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 !

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!

[@FriendofRamblinJack]

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

[@pamelajordan8680]

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.

[@sephardim4yeshua155]

The cutting tool that you dad is using isnt a machete. :-) Its a tree pruning saw. God bless you sister.

[@t200b-i7k]

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.

[@shaykayraycrochet]

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.

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Thank you so much Sharon and happy birthday to you too! Have a wonderful week and God bless you! Much love to you

[@Jadedyxy]

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👏🏽

[@cherylcobern4483]

I very much enjoy seeing your families and learning. What a blessing! 💖🙏🙏

[@shmoopadnos5699]

your videos are a big blessing to me toda raba

[@wurlabyscott]

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

[@unimatrixx001]

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!

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Hi Neal! Thank you so much! Yes, any opportunity to prank Sergio, I'm in! Haha! Have a great week and God bless you!

[@codyantrim8700]

I really enjoy your channel ☺. Praise Jesus! He is our King 🤴

[@nadenegordon7639]

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. 🍇🍋

[@chrisneeds6125]

Extending the olive branch; so wonderful. I didn't realise they were so bitter straight from the tree.

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Thank you Chris! Yes they are extremely bitter!

[@marklundquist5842]

How AWESOME Rhoda that your parents also know our Savior! I’m looking forward to meeting all of you in Heaven.

[@stefaniestefan6689]

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!

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Thank you so much Faith Joy! That was fun filming too

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

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.

[@24TRUTH1]

Beautiful olive tree!! Beautiful family!!

[@raytristani]

I was just wondering what to do with the olives from my young tree. This was awesome and I will try it. God bless!

[@fivizzano]

[@kbrookeirish]

Hi Rhoda and Sergio! Thank you for the wonderful video. I pray you have a great week. Love from California. ❤️

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Thank you so much Brooke! Have a great week and God bless you

[@urf808]

Awesome. Much Thanks from Hawai’i nei!

[@loracardwell575]

I truly enjoyed watching this video, Rhoda. You have a sweet family. I have enjoyed watching all the videos I have viewed so far.

[@karendemorest4475]

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?

[@Esperandoonoivo]

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.

[@barriesmith3489]

When I was a boy I try eating a raw olive just to find out it taste, never try eating raw olives

[@2sam16]

Happy birthday Sergio, great post, love olives, can't believe you ate one before it was processed

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Thank you so much!! :)))

[@MrRyjax99]

God bless Israel God bless the Jewish people , God bless Sergio and Rhoda, God bless all of your family and friends !

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Thank you Ryan! God bless you too friend

[@bethanytaylor7656]

[@rhondawentzell6959]

I so love this Wish I lived with you- I would be so busy helping & fixing & sharing

[@rectify2003]

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

[@kalebindiapaul]

I want to live there too.... That's the best life style...

[@sheilabarron5532]

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

[@darengeddes972]

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

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Thats a wonderful reminder Daren! Thank you!! God bless you! Sergio should have a 365 days of celebrations for all the things he does!

[@marybetoo]

I love you guys.

[@cherylkennedy4627]

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 ❤️❤️

[@JohnSmith-ls5kk]

Wow that is a lot of olives! A family project, but good for the camera man, lucky fish.

[@warrenrodgers7544]

Tyvm , great video , I almost didn't watch, I would have missed out.

[@thecocooreo]

Thank you, Jesus!!!

[@SassyBashir]

Cool thank you..

[@earthcream]

Mashallah. How Awesome!!!

[@angelgospelchannel4653]

Rhoda's Mom explained it well.

[@stgeorgeprinting8141]

This is best!

[@SD-xs3py]

Love you guys. Love your series. Hate the music.

[@mommymalou5737]

That's a lot of hardwork. no wonder olives is a bit pricey.

[@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609]

Very interesting to see for me in Sweden (where olive trees only, and barely, grow in conservatories). What was the herb that one could add to the black olives in olive oil? Regards, Mlle du Sfonctionelle

[@elizabethnavarro4267]

I would like to go to Nazareth and to see one of those threes and touch it. What a great experience will be for me. And take an olive straight from the three. Woe 😁

[@yahbin77]

@7:10 Reminds me of my wonderful, Godly Mom-in-Law.

[@rachelring2542]

Great fun. Pass on climbing the tree!!😁

[@brunojuno6535]

I didn’t know you prune them by cutting off the branch! Poor trees . I have two that have tons of olives this year after 8 years but I didn’t see them until they had fallen on the ground . Can I still prune the trees

[@KowboyUSA]

Olive love. Love olives. *What herb did mom say is added? Was it sage? 9:43

[@samuelgonzagadossantos2132]

Could you please send me an olive seed to plant here in Brazil?

[@geletmote]

Also if you break some coriander seeds and mix with the olives you will get much more flavour together!

[@jacobmarquez5391]

Rhoda what is the taste of the olive ?🤗

[@RoyRoy-hc2wy]

Love you Israeli people

[@BigBrokeBill]

Good afternoon / evening! I guess you've never seen how they harvest oranges, they use a special machine. Could you tell me how long olives will keep after they are cured? Lovely family!

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Hi BigBrokeBill (We would like to know your name, but we respect your privacy if you choose not to). I personally haven't seen how oranges are harvested! We have one orange tree that we pick by hand, and try to water it well. About the olives it depends, for the green ones, if they are uncrushed, you pressure store them, and they should stay like that for about a year. But, if you crush or slice them and change the water on them, then minimum 10 days. As for the black, they have a different marination process, and they stay stored for a couple of months.

[@BigBrokeBill]

Here's a video off of KZbin to show how rough and damaging the current harvesting practices are: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKqsZ2CggK6ZpdE

[@BigBrokeBill]

Here's one where they harvest Pecans: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4XFfJukpZWqfpI

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Wow! Both ways are really cool, I mean for someone to think of automating the whole process like that, but I also can see how this can harm the trees. We also just saw a mass harvest machine for olives one youtube video that I haven't seen before, very similar to the orange one.

[@TRUTHDrops]

If I lived where Jesus was born, I would kiss the ground every day I woke up.

[@jasontipton8430]

You guys be careful and don't fall again off of the ladder maybe you could try scaffolding to harvest the olives next time. A little more work putting it together but much safer..god BLESS.

[@Watchman-At-The-Gate]

your dad is cool

[@allgermancarparts]

SUHAIL IS VERY COMMON NAME FOR MALES IN PAKISTAN

[@alokakasturi1351]

❤

[@Maranatha14]

Rhoda's dad js the man.

[@jfredq]

That "machete" is a pruning saw...

[@SnR]

Hi jfredq, so what we had wasn't?

[@jfredq]

A machete has a straight blade- it's basically a large, heavy sword-like knife that is used for chopping. What you have in the video is a pruning saw- it has a lighter toothed blade that cuts by sawing.

[@SnR]

Ohhhh OK! Well, thank you for the clarification!!

[@FrostyBud777]

i would love to visit isreal and eat the food and see where Jesus lived and died.

[@SaeedHassan8n]

Thanks to God, the Creator of the Universe who is God of Jesus the son of Marry.

[@TheMVCoho]

Rhoda was naughty and told him to eat that bitter olive!

[@mariej6962]

I still don't understand why people eat olives. Last time I tried one from the supermarket I felt like dying.

[@SnR]

its an acquired taste :D

[@gregpaterno1446]

🇦🇺👌🏼🙏🏾

[@mikha007]

Rhondas mum is jewish?and dad arab?

[@slipshankd1307]

Not machete but hand saw

[@BrickFieldsBluesTherapy]

Love the video and thank you for using our music! www.BrickFieldsMusic.com

[@SnR]

Its awesome :)

[@jsphfalcon]

it's a saw not a machete

[@hanikaram3351]

r since we are a big family my mother and the lady that helped in raising us the children used to make huge jars with different olives and different type of pickling for taste . Rhoda when i was a kid i decided one day to make fried eggs with Labneh and zaatar then my brothers and sister liked it and once in a while they used to make it themselves , attention do not use Lebanese Zaatar the Syrian army buried pcb barrels in the mountain surroundings the Christian sides the pcb is leaking in the ground

[@hanikaram3351]

O man i miss the pickled egg plants that have the garlic and walnut inside them .

[@hanikaram3351]

i wonder if you and Sergio will try it , be careful do not put too much Zaatar

[@ameriicanprepper5813]

We know that christ and his deceitful had money and traveled a lot so perhaps they has seasonal jobs picking olive which would explain Jesus's love of olives and why he revered them so.

[@RR-mb8qc]

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. :)

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Thank you for the heartwarming words Rebecca! It's by God's grace! God bless you!!

[@qmydee1481]

you said it perfectly.

[@samuelgonzagadossantos2132]

can you send me an olive seed to plant here in Brazil?

[@yomedungngochoang2525]

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--

[@etb-b7]

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.

[@RhodaVoitenko]

Awww thank you so much! I haven't even noticed the t-shirt! Haha! :D

[@chevy6299]
